TRAGEDY

It's a targedy It's a targedy It's a targedy It's a targedy He was only twenty five Had an open heart and tender mind He sang through All the hymns he knew He was searching for a higher sign When his water was turned to wine All the darkness became light The babies and a patient wife They just weren't enough to keep him high So he gave them up Just to fill his cup Every sip would make him feel alive No bones in his body were dry It's a targedy It's a targedy It's a targedy It's a targedy Now he's finally come around He's got wrinkles and a crooked frown He holds back tears Thinkin' of the years That the bottle had him all tied down So he'll sit and have another round Singin' hallelujah til he drowns It's a targedy It's a targedy It's a targedy It's a targedy It's a targedy It's a targedy It's a targedy It's a targedy
