Uncle Ray
Lyricist:Stout Clarence A
Uncle Ray is gone, a relative they couldn't find Finally free of his insanity, they covered him with lime In a ditch outside the old junkyard on 17 Well, that crazy drunk, I swear, he was a gentleman to me
So take him far, far away, take him far, far away Out past all discussions, far from what they said Take him far, far away, take him far, far away 'Cuz we're sort of related, here lies Uncle Ray
Dry rough skin, his hand, a working man, like bark from trees He'd come to the back door of my family's house For coffee and something to eat
Pushed a shopping cart all filled with junk and empty cans He came home from the war to find his wife Now loved another man

In this photograph, we're hand in hand, in deep white snow Ray was sixty five, and nearly blind, and I was four, or so All the neighbors used to laugh and throw snowballs at him Now I live alone and when it snows, I try not to think of them
So take him far, far away, take him far, far away Out past all discussions, far from what they said Take him far, far away, take him far, far away 'Cuz we're sort of related, 'cuz we're sort of related 'Cuz we're sort of related, here lies Uncle Ray
Here lies Uncle Ray
