Sometimes, one meets a singer who sings a particular song so well, that others speak of it as belonging to that person. Uncle Frank Kennedy had such a song, and I shall never forget how he sang it to me one evening when I went to his home. He was sitting on a woodpile outside the yard when I first met him, and he sat there in the twilight and sang a Few More Months. - Dr. Patrick Gainer

LYRICS
A few more months, a few more years,
A few more prayers, a few more tears,
It won't be long, a few more years
Will hush my song, my earthly song
When they shall lay me in the valley.

A little pain, a little joy,
Just less or more, it matters not,
Some mingling yet with earth's alloy
And then forgot, oh soon forgot.
When they shall lay me in the valley.
