I WORK DOWN AT ASBURY HILLS
MINIMUM WAGE BUT IT PAYS THE BILLS
CLEANING FLOORS AND LEADING HYMNS ON SUNDAY
CATHERINE DAVIS ROOM 303
SWEETEST SOUL YOU EVER COULD MEET
I BRING HER MORNING COFFEE EVERYDAY
CHORUS:
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 AND ON ABOUT THE WEATHER
HOW SHE CAN’T BELIEVE IT’S ALREADY 1943
SHE CALLS ME RAYMOND
AND THAT’S ALRIGHT 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
WELL SOMETIMES I FIND MYSELF WISHIN I’D BEEN THERE
CHORUS:
WHEN CALLS ME RAYMOND
SHE THINKS I’M HER SON
TELLS ME GET WASHED UP FOR SUPPER
BEFORE YOUR DADDY GETS HOME
SHE GOES ON AND ON ABOUT THE WEATHER
HOW SHE CANT BELIEVE ITS ALREADY 1943
SHE CALLS ME RAYMOND
AND THAT’S ALRIGHT BY ME
BRIDGE:
THERE’S A SMALL WHITE CROSS IN ARLINGTON
READS RAYMOND DAVIS ‘71
UNTILL SHE CAN SEE HIS FACE AGAIN
I’M GONNA FILL IN THE BEST I CAN
CHORUS:
WHEN CALLS ME RAYMOND
SHE THINKS I’M HER SON
TELLS ME GET WASHED UP FOR SUPPER
BEFORE YOUR DADDY GETS HOME
SHE GOES ON AND ON ABOUT THE WEATHER
HOW SHE CANT BELIEVE ITS ALREADY 1943
SHE CALLS ME RAYMOND
AND THAT’S ALRIGHT BY ME
SHE CALLS ME RAYMOND
AND THAT’S ALRIGHT BY ME
