Analysis of I Buried My So Today
Creta De Vault-Ford 1944 (California)
I buried my son today
my only baby boy
I buried my son today
His momma’s pride and joy
I buried my son today
The pain is so intense
I buried my son today
The emptiness is immense
I buried my son today
Under skies wet with rain
I buried my son today
I sent him home again
