Dear C.A. Brown, oh how, we love you

And with your help, we’ll climb the ladder of success
Remembering you helped us do the rest

Remembering all the times we spent with you

Until the tie that binds us all will roll away

Dear C. A. Brown, when time has passed and you grow old
We won’t forget the good you’ve done for us
And we will love you more and more each passing day
Remembering you helped us to pave the way

Until the tie that binds us all will roll away
Until the tie that binds us all will roll away.
