lyrics

Coddington In Ballad -

Monty was so young when Dad died, by eleven Mother followed behind
When time came to do his part with all that he had lost he never lost heart

So he swore to the oath and took to the sky, and he gave it all that he got

June 7th 19 four four, his squadron fell victim to the war
When the plane crashed down, onto French grounds, his body they never had found

Sun shone to the prairie unscathed, six decades had past plus six years had they lain
The pilot and P-38 pieced together fit the puzzle they’d made

Tears never shed from his serviced crown, and was never paid tribute till now

Lay another rose in the ground with eyes fixed over the clouds
And pray with right hand placed over heart for the man that we never forgot
