Lyrics
THE BALLAD OF ARDITH CLARK © 2014
(ARDITH CLARK MORRISON)
Ardith Clark was a wife
For fifty years of her life
The matriarch
Married to a Navy man
A tail gunner who couldn’t land
World War II
Ardith Clark, my love
I remember you
Wandering through, your garden
Singing gospel tunes
Ardith Clark she loved to sew
Born in Rigby Idaho
The eldest child
Hanging clothes on the line
Freshly baked pumpkin pie
In the window sill
Ardith Clark, my love
I remember you
Wandering through, your garden
Singing gospel tunes
Slowly burdened by the dance of time
Waltzed her away and stole her mind
And memories
Ardith Clark, my love
I remember you
Wandering through, your garden
Singing gospel tunes
