2. Hold Me Down 

Preacher pulled up to the house  

said Daddy’d passed away 

Mama ran to the backyard  

where us children used to play 

The swing set he had built us  

had lasted many years 

Mama held it tightly 

Then slowly came the tears 

Hold me Down 

Hold me Down 

Hold me Down  

(repeat) 

I had just returned from  

a stint on foreign shore 

Where death was all around me 

it was a soldier’s norm 

But nothin’ could prepare me  

for coming home that year 

So I quit the service, I bought a boat  

I docked in a Rockport pier 

Hold me Down 

Hold me Down 

Hold me Down  

(repeat) 

Those places in my memories 

they slowly fade away 

Sometimes the family visits me  

when I drift back in the bay 

Their faces all surround me  

but I don’t have much to say

 

I finally got married  

took Jenny as my bride 

We moved into the old house  

where mama had died 

Now I sit and watch our children  

as they play in the backyard 

Where daddy built our swing set  

and mama cried so hard 

Hold me Down 

Hold me Down 

Hold me Down 

 

Well, new places and new memories are building every day 

But sometimes I still find myself staring at the bay 

Then mama brings me back and we’ll watch those children play

 

At night the Gulf breeze calls me  

to shake my blues away 

But mama and the children  

are all I need today 

We’re gonna throw a party  

in that old backyard 

Where daddy built our swing set  

and mama cried so hard 

Hold me Down 

Hold me Down 

Hold me Down

3. Gone, Gone, Gone

You said I was your lover, you said there was no other 

Still you’re gone, gone, gone 

Til death do us part, from the bottom of your heart 

But yer gone, gone, gone 

I thought you was my woman, then you started roamin’ 

I should have known all along 

You said I was your lover, you said there was no other 

Still you’re gone, gone, gone 

You said you’d always be there, but I don’t see you anywhere 

But, no yer gone, gone, gone 

I just found a note, said that’s all she wrote 

And you’re gone, gone, gone 

I thought you was my woman, then you started roamin’ 

I should have known all along  

You said I was your lover, you said there was no other 

Still you’re gone, gone, gone

 

You said I was your lover, you said there was no other 

Still you’re gone, gone, gone 

Til death do us part, from the bottom of your heart 

But, yer gone, gone, gone 

I thought you was my woman, then you started roamin’ 

I should have known all along 

You said I was your lover, you said there was no other 

Still you’re gone, gone, gone 

Well, you’re gone, gone gone 

Yeah, you're gone, gone, gone
