I worked down at ashberry hills
Minimum wage but it pays the bills
Cleaning floors and leading hymns on sunday
Catherine davis room three o three
Sweetest soul you ever could meet
I bring her morning coffee every day
She calls me raymond
She thinks I'm her son
Tells me get washed up for supper
Before your daddy gets home
She goes on about the weather
How she can't believe it's already nineteen forty three
And she calls me raymond
That's all right by me
She talks about clothes on the line
In the summer air christmas morning
And thanksgiving prayer and stories
Of a family that I never had
But sometimes I find myself wishing I'd been there
When she calls me raymond
She thinks I'm her son
Tells me get washed up for supper
Before your daddy gets home
She goes on about the weather
How she can't believe it's already nineteen forty three
She calls me rainbow
That's all right by me
There's a small white cross in arlington
Read raymond davis seventy one
Until she can see his face again
I'm gonna fill in the best I can
When she calls me raymond
She thinks I'm her son
Tells me get washed up for supper
Before your daddy gets home
She rolls on about the weather
How she can't believe it's already nineteen forty three
She calls me raymond
And that's alright by me
She calls me raymond
And that's alright by me
