Well it was early on Friday evening, that's when my Ealase passed away

Early on Friday evening, that's when my Ealase passed away

She was taken away by 'r ol' cancer, and ol' Red could do nothin' for 'r that day



I know the kids gonna miss you honey, and you know Red gonna miss you too

The kids gonna miss you honey, and I know I'm gonna miss you too

When they took your flowers out your room, ain't nothin' more none of us could do



All right son, I'm gonna play it... (guitar solo)



Now you know I loved you Ealase, that's why I went down and dug your grave

You know I loved you Ealase, I went down and dug your grave

If I live right and be right honey, I'll join you somewhere someday



One more time boy... (guitar solo)



Well you know I loved you Ealase, that's why I went down and dug your grave

You know I loved you Ealase, that's why I went down and dug your grave

If I do right and live right honey, I'll join you up there someday
