I learned
how to write it
when I first
started school
Some bully
didn't like it
he said it didn't
sound too cool
So I had to hit him
and all I said
when the blood came
It's my last name
Grandpa took
it off to Europe
to fight the Germans
in the war
It came back on
some dogtags
nobody wears
no more
It's written on
a headstone in the
field where he was slain
It's my last name
Passed down from
generations too
far back to trace
I can see all my
relations when I
look into my face
May never make
it famous but I'll
never bring it shame
It's my last name
Daddy always told me
far back as I recall
Son your part
of somethin
You represent us all
So keep it
how you got it
as solid as it came
It's my last name
Passed down from
generations too
far back to trace
I can see all my
relations when I
look into my face
May never make
it famous but I'll
never bring it shame
It's my last name
So darlin if
you're wonderin
why I've got
you here tonight
I wanna be
your husband
I want you to
be my wife
I ain't got much to
give you but what
I've got means
everything
It's my last name
oh it's my last name
I learned how
to write it
when I first
started school
