I work down at Ashberry Hills
Minimum wage, but it pays the bills
Cleaning floors and leading hymns on Sunday


Katherine Davis, room 303
Sweetest soul you ever could meet

I bring her morning coffee everyday

Chorus:

She calls me Raymond
She thinks I'm her son
Tells me get washed up for supper

before your daddy gets home
She goes on about the weather
how she can't believe it's already 1943

She calls me Raymond, and that's all right by me

She talks about clothes on the line in the summer air

Christmas morning and Thanksgiving prayer
Stories of a family that I never had
Sometimes I find myself wishing I'd been there


Chorus:
When she calls me Raymond

She thinks I'm her son
Tells me get washed up for supper
before your daddy gets home

She goes on about the weather
how she can't believe it's already 1943
She calls me Raymond, and that's all right by me


There's a small white cross in Arlington
Reads Raymond Davis '71

Until she can see his face again
I'm gonna fill in the best I can


Chorus:
When she calls me Raymond
She thinks I'm her son

Tells me get washed up for supper
before your daddy gets home
She goes on about the weather

how she can't believe it's already 1943
She calls me Raymond, and that's all right by me
She calls me Raymond, and that's all right by me
