    Default A Mother's Son written by Whiteheather

    A Mothers Son
    Written by
    Whiteheather.

    I always wanted to be a Soldier, just like my Dad
    That's what his Mum said, about her bonnie wee lad
    The years went by, he grew up strong
    And in the Army, is where Jamie longed

    The day came, when Jamie sailed away
    His Mum on the shore, praying he'd return one day
    Jamie wrote to his Darlin Mum
    Dear Mum, this is Jamie, your loving Son

    The guns are loud, the canons a' screaming
    Coming home is what I'm dreaming
    I can hear the pipes, I can hear them playing
    Were coming home, they seem to be saying

    The pipes they played, for a soldiers Son
    Who fought the battle, who fought and won
    Jamie's Mum at the station was waiting
    A pain in her heart, the tension was creating

    The crowd that gathered, to see their village son
    All was their for Jamie's Mum
    The pipes they played, The Battles O'er
    As the train pulled in, they opened the carriage door

    The flag draped coffin, carried shoulder high
    As the rifles fired, into a cloudless sky
    Jamie's home, he was one of the best
    The pipes are playing, as Jamie is laid to rest

    A soldier he was, from the cradle to the grave
    For his countries freedom, his life he gave
    Jamie's home, he was one of the best
    The pipes are playing, as Jamie is laid to rest.

    i can relate, lost many friends in Vietnam and was fortunate to have my son- in- law return safely from 18mos in Iraq (waiting to see if he is going to be redeployed). and my thanks for the sacrifice
