Chords in this song4
Verse 1
When I saw the ambulance screaming down Main Street
I didn't give it a thought
But it was my Uncle Eugene; he died on October
the Second, Nine-teen Eighty-one
And my Uncle Wilbur, they all called him Skinner
And they said for his younger ways
He'd get drunk in the morning
And show me the rolls of fifties and hundreds
He kept in the glove box of his old grey Impala
Chorus
And we're all gonna be here forever
So Mama don't you make such a stir
Now, put down that camera
And come on and join up
The last of the family reserve
Verse 2
Now my second cousin his name was Calloway
He died when he'd barely turned two
And it was peanut butter and jelly that did it
The help she didn't know what to do
She just stood there and she watched him turn blue
Chorus
And we're all gonna be here forever
So Mama don't you make such a stir
Just put down that camera
And come on and join up
The last of the family reserve
Verse 3
And my friend Brian Temple he thought he could make it
So from the third story he jumped
And he missed the swimming pool, only by inches
And everyone said he was drunk
Instrumental
Verse 4
And there was great Uncle Julius and there was Aunt Annie Miller
And Mary and Grandaddy Paul
And there was Hannah and Ella and Alvin and Alec
And he owned his own funeral home
And there are more I remember and more I could mention
Than words I could write in a song
But I feel them watching and I see them laughing
And I, I hear them singing along
Chorus
We're all gonna be here forever
So Mama don't you make such a stir
Just put down that camera
And come on and join up
The last of the family reserve
