ARIZONA
THE ARIZONA SHE DOES WEEP THE TEARS WAY DOWN DEEP
FOR ALL THE YOUNG THAT WITH HER SLEEP
WHO PASSED IN FEAR AND TERROR DEEP
WITHOUT THE TIME TO PRAY
OR MAYBE ASLEEP
THEY DID NOT KNOW THAT DEATH WAS COMING THAT DAY
AS THEY DREAMED OF WHAT TO FAMILY AND LOVED ONES THEY COULD SAY
ABOUT THE NEED TO BE SO FAR AWAY
JUST DOING THEIR JOB,EARNING PAY
THE JOB DEMANDED MUCH THAT DAY
DECEMBER SEVENTH MARCH FOURTEENTH THE FIRST OF MAY
ON BALMY SEAS OR MUD OR SAND
WHERE WE SAID HERE YOU MUST STAND
SOME SAY THAT FROM HER OIL DOES SEEP
BUT I THINK IT IS BECAUSE OF PROMISES WE MADE
BUT DO NOT KEEP TO END ALL WAR
THAT IS WHY THE ARIZONA CONTINUES TO WEEP
