Doc & Chickie sing a duet with feeling...
the narration by Henson Cargill is kinda weak...

He Said He Had A Friend
Doc & Chickie Williams

Dear Mom and Dad the war is done
My task is finally through
But, oh please Mom, there's something great
That I must ask of you

I have a friend, oh such a friend
He has no home you see
And so, dear Mom, I'd really like
To bring him home with me

Dear Son - We don't really mind
If someone comes home with you
I'm sure he could stay with us
Perhaps a week or two
   
Dear Mom - there's something you must know
Now please don't be alarmed
My friend in the battle recently
Was hurt and lost an arm

Dear Son - Don't be afraid
To bring him home with you
Your friend can stay and visit
For maybe a day or two

But Mother - he's not just a friend
He's like a brother, too
And That's why I want him with us
And like a son to you

And Before you give your answer, Mom
I really don't want to beg
But my friend fought in a battle
In which he lost his leg

Dear Son - It hurts so much to say
My answer must be "no"
For Dad and I have no time
For a boy who is crippled so
   
So months go by and a letter comes
And it says their son has died
And when they read the cause of death
The shock was "suicide"

Days later, when the casket came
Draped in our country's flag
They saw their son lying there
Without an arm or a leg

TAG: His casket.....can't make out ---
