In memory of our beloved Lee Allison

who passed away six years ago on May 6th.

Born the fourth son of a farmer

And a small town family man

Like his daddy's daddy before him

Brought up to be a hard workin' man

Fell in love with a small town woman

And they married up and settled down

Natural way of life if you're lucky

For a small town family man

First there came a daughter then a son

For this small town family man

Eight years later came another

A girl, she wasn't planned

Five people living all together

In a house built with his own hands

Little words with love and understanding

From a small town family man

Callous hands told the story

For this small town family man

He gave it all to keep it all together

And keep his family close at hand

Like his daddy, years wore out his body

Made it hard just to walk and stand

You can break the back

But you can't break the spirit

Of a small town family man

And he bowed his head to Jesus

And he stood for Uncle Sam

And he only loved one woman

He was always proud of what he had

He said his greatest contribution

Is the ones you leave behind

Raised on the ways and gentle kindness

Of a small town family man

Finally death came callin'

For this small town family man

He said it's alright 'cause I see angels

And they got me by the hand

Don't you cry, and don't you worry

I'm blessed, and I know I am

'Cause God has a special place in

Heaven for a small town family man

From Alan Jackson's Song

"Small Town Southern Man"

Daddy, with the exception of a

few words that were changed,

I swear Alan Jackson wrote

this song just for you.

We miss you so much it hurts

but are truly blessed to have

had you in our lives...Cindy

With all our love

We love you Pappy
