Errol Flynn - Amanda McBroom

Written by：Gordon Hunt

In a hall

On a wall

In a house

In reseda

There's a poster held up

By two nails and a pin

It's my daddy the actor

'Bout to die with his boots on

He's the man standing up there

Beside errol flynn

He got third or fourth billing

At the end of each picture

But that don't mean much

He would say with a grin

But he'd hold my hand tight

As he pointed his name out

Only four or five names

Down below errol flynn

Now fame it is fleeting

And stars they keep falling

And staying right up there

That's the business of art

And luck kisses some

And she passes by others

Disappointment

And bourbon

Are hard on the heart

Now the women and beers

And the years with old errol

They took their toll

And took me from his side

He kissed me goodbye at the old union station

That's the last time

I saw

The last time I cried

Now I'm sitting alone

In a house in reseda

Watchin' the late show

As the moonlight shines in

And up on the screen

Well here comes my daddy

It's a sad funny feeling

Now I'm older than him

So you daddies and daughters

You sons and you mothers

Remember life's over

Before it begins

So love one another

And stand close together

As close

As my dad did

To old errol flynn
