Singing Tom

Once upon a time

There was a man that I knew

His name was Singing Tom

Everywhere you would see him go

He had a song that seemed to flow

He was a gentle man

Time went on, he got down

People heard in this town

They came to his side

Singing Tom sang a song

I’m going home, won’t be long

People don’t be sad

People here in this town

Wore a smile not a frown

Cause that’s what he wanted

You see Singing Tom was a man of God

He preached the Word and the Blood

People flocked to his side

You may think that this is strange

Or there’s some things I rearranged

But I tell you the truth

You see, I use to know old Singing Tom

He was a man and a friend

He was ‘til the end

He lives on in our hearts

He lives on in our lives

And he lives when we sing the song he sang
