Uncle Fred how are you set

For candy bars and cigarettes

Overalls and kerosene

Baseball caps or magazines

Let's all go to Brown's today

Don't need a map to find the way

Sit on the porch and smoke a few

There's nothing else I'd rather do

Tell me bout the time you went

To Chuckey school for fifteen cents

You saw A P and Sara too

Heard Mother Maybelle play that tune

Uncle Fred recalls the day

He left the farm and moved away

Sailed across the deep blue sea

From Panama to Waikiki

Served his country did his time

Still got the pictures in his mind

Scolfield Barracks Diamond Head

What a time

He smiled and said

Uncle Fred and R G too

Have a seat and tell a few

Been working on that car today

It's out of gas and by the way

Just whittle on that stick a while

Every now and then he'd smile

Calloused hands a pocket knife

Tobacco farmer all his life

Uncle Fred has passed away

I came to see his grave today

What a time

I smiled and said

Still got the pictures in my head
