Intro

I Work In the kitchen at an old folks home

i do my best, but i too am gettin old

i do the dishes but lately iv been droppin plates

see as i get older, my hands are startin to shake

so mr. Larkin see I got to hold this job

did you misspeak when you told me she was all far gone

mr. Larkin dock me my one week’s pay

but don’t ask me to leave I can’t afford that day

ten years ago, my wife took sick

so i brought her here, my job i quit

started workin for the home so i could be by her everyday

we could'nt afford the cost any other way

so mr. Larkin i know she know who i am

everynow and then, she'll squeeze my hand

it's what i live for and it's why she don't die A

so mr.Larkin won't you won't you give me this try?

I walk to work on route 27

I see the same cars pass by everyday

And through all this, New England weather

 You know never once have i been late

 So Mr. Larkin see I know she know who I am

Every now and then, yeah she'll squeeze my hand

It's what I live for and it's why she don't die

So Mr. Larkin won't you won't you give me this try

I see the argument you’re makin

And I understand you got to do your job

 And believe me I know she’s turning angel

 But you see this woman is all I got

So Mr. Larkin see I know she know who I am

Every now and then, yeah she'll squeeze my hand

It's what I live for and it's why she don't die

so Mr. Larkin won't you won't you give me this try

Won’t you gimme this try?

Won’t you gimme this try?
