Analysis of Tin roof
Charles Fields II 1955 (Fort Bragg, NC)
Musical tap dance raindrops falling...
when striking the roof top
i kind of like it (Hope it never stops)
Way back, yesterdays
when people’s homes were hand made.
All were built pre-paid
neighbors, always there
people who cared enough to share
because life was always hard
families of neighbors would understand
the pains of life's demands.
Those who would be there to help each other
make do one love for each truth
we'd come together
after the days work was done
share love and have fun.
Hard work, like simple truth
will never go out of style.
whether, by city block,
Or country mile...
