Some I Wrote Lyrics - The Statler Brothers

Someday when it's all over and they come to carry me 

And you're walkin' slow and wearin' black with the rest of the family 

And the choir stands to sing a song, make sure it's one of mine 

I have a few more tunes that I wanted to write, but I ran out of time 

Some I wrote for money, some I wrote for fun 

Some I wrote and threw away, and never sang to any one 

One I wrote for mama and a couple still aren't through 

I've lost track of all the rest, but the most I wrote for you 

That day when it's all over and you're sittin' all alone 

They'll call and ask you what you want to have written on my stone 

Tell 'em when I was born and died, the year and the day 

And if there's room for something more here's what you can say 

"Some he wrote for money, some he wrote for fun 

Some he wrote and threw away, and never sang to any one 

One he wrote for his mama and never finished two or three 

He lost track of all the rest, but the most he wrote for me"
