Yet he was a brave man and quite humble as well
When true courage was needed he had it to display
From the face of great danger he did not turn away
He risked his own life to pluck Mrs and Mr Roe's young son Jim
From the bed in his room with flames all around him
From the burning house he brought the boy out
Of what courage is he left none in doubt
All thanks to the man who did save his life
Today Jim Roe is a happily married man with a young daughter and a beautiful wife
In love and contented and of any cares free
And as happy as anyone could wish to be
But that luck was not with the man who saved his life happens to be so
He died in a car accident many years ago
In his mid twenties death did claim him young
As he lived he died as one of the town's unsung
When courage was needed in it he did not lack
Yet the offer of a medal for bravery he did knock back
Today Mrs and Mr Roe pay their respects to the brave and humble one
Who many years ago saved the life of their son.
