Biography:
The Statler Brothers were an American country music vocal group founded in 1955 in Staunton, Virginia.
Originally performing gospel music at local churches, the group billed themselves as The Four Star Quartet, and later The Kingsmen. In 1963, when the song "Louie, Louie" by the garage rock band also called The Kingsmen became famous, the group elected to bill themselves as The Statler Brothers. Despite the name, only two members of the group (Don and Harold Reid) are actual brothers and none have the surname of "Statler".

[Verse 1]
C F C
I saw her from a distance as she walked up to the wall
F G7
In her hand she held some flowers as her tears began to fall
C F C
She took out pen and paper as to trace her memories
G7 C
She looked up to heaven and the words she said were these
[Chorus]
C7 F C
She said Lord my boy was special and he meant so much to me
F G7
And oh I'd love to see him just one more time you see
F C
All I have are the memories and the moments to recall
F G7 C
So Lord could you tell him he's more than a name on the wall
[Verse 2]
C F C
She said he really missed the family being home on Christmas day
F G7
And he died for God and country in a place so far away
C F C
I remember just a little boy playing war since he was three
G7 C
And Lord this time I know he's not coming home to me
[Chorus]
C7 F C
She said Lord my boy was special and he meant so much to me
F G7
And oh I'd love to see him but I know it just can't be
F C
So I thank you for my memories and the moments to recall
F G7 C
But Lord could you tell him he's more than a name on the wall
[Outro]
