People came from miles around

To pay respects with painted frowns

Hanging round to see the old man down

Underneath the ground



Brother luke he turned away

And uncle john refused to stay

Doctor tom said don't cry he'll get by

He'll see another day



Alright, it's alright

I'm gonna get to see you

Alright, it's alright

I'm gonna get to see you



But the old man's not so blind

Faked the day so he could find

The only tear to rest upon his hand

They didn't understand



Alright, it's alright

I'm gonna get to see you

Alright, it's alright

I'm gonna get to see you
