We were gathered in the garden The day my daddy died. Although they had been separated Apart for quite some time I saw mother’s tears erase the years This young widowed bride. [Chorus 1] In springtime she’ll be turning sixty And be out on the town. I really hope she finds a boyfriend A man who stays around.      [Verse 2] Well yesterday I was heading west and now I’m headed south Someone who rails around the world. She’s wandering the house. Oh mother do you hear the footsteps of_your_husband down the hall? Don’t_you_realize the danger Being trapped inside those walls? [Chorus 1] In springtime she’ll be turning sixty And be out on the town. I really hope she finds a boyfriend A man who stays around. [Bridge] And I hope one day that you will be ready Have someone strong right by your side. Look back on your life and you surely regret it Or find some happiness inside.         [Verse 3] Underneath the willow branches At number twenty-nine Another crowd has gathered And_they’re putting up a sign. Mother she is moving on She is doing so well. She put the past behind her Now_the_house is up for sale. [Chorus 2] In springtime she’ll be turning sixty And be out on the town. I really hope she finds a boyfriend A man who stays around. [Coda] I really hope she finds a boyfriend A man - who stays - around.
