lyrics
Bobby Jo Graham
Written By: Oliver Adams
I’ll tell you a story about a gambling man
Smoked cigars went by Bobby Jo Graham
Saw him once but his legend lives on
You can’t tell if he’s here or gone
Left his family for the war in ’63
Fighting for freedom against Robert E Lee
If you knew Graham he did not come back the same
I guess this war was much more than a game
Chorus:
He walked on down to that war torn church and sunk down to his knees
Looked The Man right in the eye and said if someones gotta die
Might as well be you and me
War being over he made his way back home
Only to find that everything was gone
Horses left and his barn was burned down
One thing had not fallen to the ground
Chorus
