Lyrics:

Uncle Ray is gone, a relative they couldn't findFinally free of his insanity, they covered him with limeIn a ditch outside the old junkyard on 17Well that crazy drunk I swear he was a gentleman to meSo take him far far awayTake him far far awayOut past all discussions, far from what they saidTake him far far awayTake him far far away'Cuz we're sort of relatedHere lies Uncle RayDry rough skin, his hands, a working man, like bark from treesHe'd come to the back door of my familiy's houseFor coffee and something to eatPushed a shopping cart all filled with junk and empty cansHe came home from the war to find his wifeNow loved another manSo take him far far awayTake him far far awayOut past all discussions, far from what they saidTake him far far awayTake him far far away'Cuz we're sort of relatedHere lies Uncle RayIn this photograph we're hand in hand in deep white snowRay was 65 and nearly blind, and I was 4 or soAll the neighbors used to laugh and throw snowballs at himNow I live alone and when it snowsI try not to think of themSo take him far far awayTake him far far awayOut past all discussions, far from what they saidTake him far far awayTake him far far away'Cuz we're sort of related'Cuz we're sort of related'Cuz we're sort of relatedHere lies Uncle RayHere lies Uncle Ray...
