[LUCILLE]
Leo, oh Leo
I know He'll protect you
And don't be afraid
I'll be fine here—you'll see
Farewell, my Leo—
You're right here beside me
You're here by the door
And you're holdin' my arm
And you're strokin' my hair
And you're finally...
[MARY, spoken]
Mr. Frank?
[LEO, spoken]
What is it?
[LUCILLE]
...Free
[MARY, spoken]
Happy Memorial Day.
[FRANKIE]
I go to fight for these old hills behind me
The old red hills of home
I go to fight for these hills that remind me
Of a way of life that's pure
Of the truth that will endure
In the city of Atlanta
In the old red hills of home!
Leo, oh Leo
I know He'll protect you
And don't be afraid
I'll be fine here—you'll see
Farewell, my Leo—
You're right here beside me
You're here by the door
And you're holdin' my arm
And you're strokin' my hair
And you're finally...
[MARY, spoken]
Mr. Frank?
[LEO, spoken]
What is it?
[LUCILLE]
...Free
[MARY, spoken]
Happy Memorial Day.
[FRANKIE]
I go to fight for these old hills behind me
The old red hills of home
I go to fight for these hills that remind me
Of a way of life that's pure
Of the truth that will endure
In the city of Atlanta
In the old red hills of home!
