lyrics

In Granny Atky's pantry
Was a fruit cake in a tin
She'd baked it for her only son
For the day that he rolled in
With his warring days behind him
He'd sit down at her side
It was still there in the pantry
When Granny Atky died

A soldier's not remembered
For just his the fight alone
But the love invested in him
By the folks he leaves at home
And she never stopped believing
Though that fruit cake slowly dried
It was still there in the pantry
When Granny Atky died

In Granny Atky's pantry
Was a fruit cake in a tin
She'd baked it for her only son
The day that he rolled in
It waited 30 years there
Behind the Mother's Pride
And was still there in her pantry
When Granny Atky died
