Raymond

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I work down at Ashbury Hill Minimum wage, but it pays the bills Cleaning floors and leading hymns on Sunday Catherine Davis, room 3-0-3 Sweetest soul you ever could meet I bring her morning coffee every day [Chorus] She calls me Raymond She thinks I'm her son Tells me get washed up for supper 'Fore your daddy gets home She goes on about the weather How she can't believe it's already 1943 And she calls me Raymond And that's alright by me [Verse 2] She talks about clothes on the line, the summer air Christmas morning and Thanksgiving prayer And stories of a family that I never had Well, sometimes I find myself wishing I'd been there [Chorus] When she calls me Raymond She thinks I'm her son Tells me get washed up for supper 'Fore your daddy gets home She goes on about the weather How she can't believe it's already 1943 And she calls me Raymond And that's alright by me [Bridge] There's a small white cross in Arlington Reads, "Raymond Davis, '71" Until she can see his face again I'm gonna fill in the best I can [Chorus] When she calls me Raymond She thinks I'm her son Tells me get washed up for supper 'Fore your daddy gets home When she goes on about the weather How she can't believe it's already 1943 She calls me Raymond And that's alright by me [Outro] And she calls me Raymond And that's alright by me
