Harry 'Bayou Riley' Nilsson's "1941" is an autobiographical chantey originally released on Nilsson's Pandemonium Shadow Show album.

 

Well in 1941 a happy father had a son

And by 1944 t' father walked right out t' door

And in '45 t' mom and son were still alive

But who could tell in '46 if t' two were t' survive?
