Phil Keaggy - My Uncle Duke lyrics

My Uncle Duke is really not that strange Lives in Arizona riding the range Hangs in a pool room with his favorite cronies His eyes ain't immobile like the other 'Zonies Well he got married to an Iowa girl He really loves her He calls her his pearl They dance to Glenn Miller at the Arizona fair In cowpoke garb They make quite a pair Well he can't sing a note Never gave it a try When he tries to whistle Sounds more like a sigh But his heart's full of music And his outlook is good to have lived through the depression Thinks everybody should Well I'm an uncle too And getting old and grey And some day my nephews might say, "Gee Uncle Phil I can't believe what I see You're the spittin' image, spittin' of that old codger in the family tree. Well I'm an uncle too And getting old and grey And some day my nephews may say, "Gee Uncle Phil I can't believe what I see You're the spittin' image, spittin' of that old codger in the family tree. That lovable old codger in the family tree That old codger in the family tree Well my Uncle Duke is really not that strange Lives in Arizona riding the range Hangs in a pool room with his favorite cronies His eyes ain't immobile like the other 'Zonies
