Summertime visiting dropped in one eveningOn Cousin William, he and his wifeAnd we all went driving down by the river campsWinding through party lights, Dogtown wayI had never gone past the bridge where darkness aboundsAnd we decided to turn around, but it was hard to slow downWeren't too sure of blind curvesI took my leave of them, drove back to the Northand they to celeberate their anniversaryAll day they traveledFinally at the beach, but could not seeThe current was too strong that dayShe couldn't swim back to shoreHe tried to help and there he joined herThen a stranger pulled her in but could not rescue WilliamAnd the ocean it took him awayLeft his wife a widow at 23Stranded all alone with no way to get back homeShe could never really go back homeWilliam Roy knew the dark side of menAnd he faced it with a grinPaid no mind to money hell or heaven, knelt down to family and the orphanedWilliam oh WilliamI will always love himHe was my blood and kinWho took me in and promised never to tell on me From Letras Mania
