Just substitute "Robbie of Clementon" for "Katherine of Oregon"....
Katherine of Oregon
Al Stewart
from the CD "A Beach Full of Shells"
When I get even more old than I am now
I'll have a house overlooking the water
I'll read all the books that I never got 'round to
And pile my suitcases up in the corner
The lights of the city they blink off and on again
Names in my memory are there, then they're gone again
Albums of photographs spread on the floor again
I'll spend my evenings with Katherine of Oregon
I'll fill my garage up with things I've no use for
Obsolete knick-knacks that there's no excuse for
I'll turn my back on the world's grand illusions
Take my delights in the simplest amusements
The lights of the city they blink off and on again
Names in my memory are there, then they're gone again
Albums of photographs spread on the floor again
I'll spend my evenings with Katherine of Oregon
I'll wear my clothes with their colors all clashing
They'll be so old that they'll come back in fashion
I'll sit on the beach with my paper wrapped luncheon
I'll enjoy being the ancient curmudgeon
The lights of the city they blink off and on again
Names in my memory are there then they're gone again
I'll have a jukebox and play Lonnie Donegan
And I'll spend my evenings with Katherine of Oregon
The JWs didn't lie...I WILL live forever....six generations from now, someone will wonder where a child got his wicked sense of humour and his slightly crooked smile....
And it will have been me...and my father...and his father...and his mother....
ANNOUNCING ROBERT JUDE DUNN H. of Southern New Jersey...
Robbie, I love you. Your Italian-American Nana will ALWAYS be there for you...
