Lyrics
I wear my mothers rosary just around my neck
she was a good ole gal...a real Polish peach
old pictures, postcards & a faded silver string
Iwa Jima, brother Georgie, sister Stell
we all thought she lost her mind...I found her heart
chocalate cake, old goulash'...the meanest meatsauce
we never knew these jewels were 2 feet from her chair
sister "take this brian...I think that she wanted you..."
you cannot change someone, you've got to let them go
I really didn't know her...until she'd up & left
a young pilot in that #2 machine
cousin Mickey, Georgina, Paula,...hey were blood baby.
