My Pal Sam Lyrics

Under the old oak tree, where the dust settles down

There's a buddy I know, in this small country town

Sam's got a heart as big as the open plains

Riding life's rollercoaster, through the sunshine and rain

Every Friday night, with a fiddle and a grin

We'd gather 'round the barn, let the music begin

Sam's laugh echoes through the farmstead light

With a bottle of Tennessee whiskey, we'd sing all night

Here's to you, Sam, my steadfast friend

Through the highs and the lows, right to the end

We'll carve our names in that old oak bark

Memories lasting, even in the dark

When the crops were failing, and our hopes ran thin

Sam stood strong, with a fight within

He'd say"We'll try again, come another dawn

Keep plowing forward till the storm is gone"

Down by the river, where the cattle roam

Sam built dreams, a loving home

With every nail hammered, and every board laid

He made a place where our souls could fade

Here's to you, Sam, my steadfast friend

Through the highs and the lows, right to the end

We'll carve our names in that old oak bark

Memories lasting, even in the dark.
