Lyrics
Verse I:
It started back in '62
Got in a fight, left him black and blue
What I didn't know is he had a gun
And that was the start of all of this fun
Chorus:
What can you do when your time is over?
When you're dead but you're not gone
Can't feel the rain and I talk to crows
Oh I got the blues like nobody knows
Verse II:
Mrs. Jones visits every day
It's been six years since he passed away
He sits on his stone and talks to his wife
And says, "Sweet baby have a wonderful life."
Verse III:
I don't like when they come around
And put a new one into the ground
When they do that's when I start crying
Sing with me baby this song for the dying
