on a cool colonial veranda
he used to sit there with his pipe
i was eight years old when he was eighty
he was the hero in my life

and the captain from the salvation army would say;
“sandy
thank you for listening to my sermon today
there’s a soul i can save
with the money that you gave
you’re a very good soul, you are
sandy.”

[chorus]
sandy, sandy
gray and grizzly
told me i should never tell a lie
answered all my “why?”s
sometimes dried my eyes
and told me ’bout his foreman in the sky

in a boarding house behind the station
the found him ailing by himself
he was fighting the devil’s black water
and said that he didn’t need no help

and the captain from the salvation army said;
“sandy
you know that there will always be a bed
in our haven for you
there’s tobacco to chew
you’re a very sick man, you are
sandy.”

[chorus]
sandy, sandy
gray and grizzly
told me i should never tell a lie
answered all my “why?”s
sometimes dried my eyes
and told me ’bout his foreman in the sky

there were only four at the gravesite
the wake, and to carry him along
there was me, and the council undertaker
my father, and the captain and his song

and the captain from the salvation army cried;
“sandy
i was so glad that i could be there when you died
the new world could do
with a few more like you
you’re a very good soul, you are
sandy.”

[chorus]
sandy, sandy
gray and grizzly
told me i should never tell a lie
answered all my “why?”s
sometimes dried my eyes
and told me ’bout his foreman in the sky

told me ’bout his foreman in the sky
now he’s gone to see his foreman in the sky
