Shared note	Song for Donnie by his nephew Bruce Enloe here's a song for uncle Donnie last time I saw you alive, said that you getting ready to ride along the great divide well you always were an odd one that's the kindest way to say weird as a 3 cent penny we all loved you just that way canvas tents and flintlock muskets a magazine mail order bride boy scout camps and model airplanes and riding on the great divide you were a young boy's favorite uncle homemade games you gave with pride you never threw away a thing you never knew what you might need riding along the great divide well you never were a horseman but you'd learned how to survive with your wits to keep you warm and if you needed something more you'd find it on the great divide you couldn't stand to be a burden so you learned to live life light as man must travel lightly riding on the great divide so you learned to live so lightly that the wind swept you aside so if you're calling after Donnie well, he's out there somewhere wandering, riding on the great divide Love, Bruce here's a song for uncle Donnie last time I saw you alive, said that you getting ready to ride along the great divide well you always were an odd one that's the kindest way to say weird as a 3 cent penny we all loved you just that way canvas tents and flintlock muskets a magazine mail order bride boy scout camps and model airplanes and riding on the great divide you were a young boy's favorite uncle homemade games you gave with pride you never threw away a thing you never knew what you might need riding along the great divide well you never were a horseman but you'd learned how to survive with your wits to keep you warm and if you needed something more you'd find it on the great divide you couldn't stand to be a burden so you learned to live life light as man must travel lightly riding on the great divide so you learned to live so lightly that the wind swept you aside so if you're calling after Donnie well, he's out there somewhere wandering, riding on the great divide Love, Bruce

here's a song for uncle Donnie
last time I saw you alive,
said that you getting ready
to ride along the great divide

well you always were an odd one
that's the kindest way to say
weird as a 3 cent penny
we all loved you just that way

canvas tents and flintlock muskets
a magazine mail order bride
boy scout camps and model airplanes
and riding on the great divide

you were a young boy's favorite uncle
homemade games you gave with pride
you never threw away a thing
you never knew what you might need
riding along the great divide

well you never were a horseman
but you'd learned how to survive
with your wits to keep you warm
and if you needed something more
you'd find it on the great divide

you couldn't stand to be a burden
so you learned to live life light
as man must travel lightly
riding on the great divide

so you learned to live so lightly
that the wind swept you aside
so if you're calling after Donnie
well, he's out there somewhere wandering,
riding on the great divide

Love, Bruce
here's a song for uncle Donnie
last time I saw you alive,
said that you getting ready
to ride along the great divide
