Description:
Dedicated to Father Les Costello who may have scolded me a couple 'o times. Father Les was the priest at St. Alphonsus Parish in Schumacher,ON. Canada He was a great humanist and played hockey for The Flying Fathers during his later years to raise money for the poor. And may I had he had to be good on the ice for he played for the Toronto Maple Leafs and they always put on a great show for the crowd and he loved what he did. Since his death he is being missed immensily by his parishioners. And when you shook hands with him you felt the man and he was no cream puff. The story behind the song is a young man imprisoned and he's waiting to be released from prison. He tells of his friend just being released on paroles and waiting for his turn. Tell me that you love me darlin and walk by my side And I'll come back to home and you Tell me that you'll wait for me until my time is through And I'll come back to home and you I promise you I'll do my best to be a better man Our little boy will proudly say hey fellas meet my dad The tears I cried will has my cup more than you'll ever know And I wanna go back to home and you When father Les Costello shook my hands and spoke of you It was good news I felt okay And the Salvation Army sang on your birthday The church bells rang seemed far away And I promise you I'll do my best to be a better man Our little boy will proudly say "Hey fellas meet my dad My young friends Jim McKenzie went home the other day Three times he tried this time he did For personal appearances and bookings paulhenryd@yahoo.com Chorus: end.
