By Her Side

He lived in a white house
Right across from mine
And I’d walk on over
From time to time

He’d fly that old plane
All day long
Till the sun was gone

Well he’d fly above the hills
He’d fly clear across the sky
And he’d land by the mill
He’d spend the night
By her side

Well he’d fly that ole plane
All through the clouds
And I still remember
that ole engine sound

I’d always hear it
From the time that he left
Until the sunset

Well he’d fly above the hills
He’d fly clear across the sky
And he’d land by the mill
He’d spend the night
By her side

I still remember
The day she died
He spent those last weeks
There by her side

And he said son
When my times is through
You know what I’ll do

Well I’ll fly above the field
I’ll fly clear across the sky
I’ll land by the mill
And spend the night
By her side
