- Raymond LyricsI 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
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
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

It's a very beautiful song. It makes me cry everytime I hear it because my mom and grandma both were named Catherine Davis with a C instead of a K. The same situation happened with my grandma. :(

This song nails that special human moment, the emotion, the story line, reality that makes a good song a great song...bravo; but who really wrote it? Did Brett with some help, or Truman with Brett's revision? Who lived or at least imagined this moment? I want to know him. As a songwriter, I want to communicate with him. How do I do that?
