Sam Lynn! Sam Lynn! No sweeter tune was played on a VioLynn. Mr. Lynn! Mr. Lynn! To you or me, of course. |
|
Just a thought! This day before you go All with paints on faces, you know! Look up! To the sky on some Halloween night When parties are in full flow and rockets in full flight Sam is still flying high, way, way up in the sky. |
|
The next day he came to rest 93, and not a hair on his chest (All Saint's Day) |
|
This to you may seem in jest For all I know, you probably guess Sam is in Heaven and still loves playing Chess. |
