The Untimely Demise of One Clyde Forestdale
He went down the drunk road to see a woman about a man
He went down that old drunk road, to see if he could lay his hand
She said "son I ain't got none but I'll do the very best I can"
The sky looked dirty and mean
Greatest thing I ever seen
He went down the Jail House to see his brother and his son
He went down to the Jail House to see what trouble they begun
He said "Hey there Mr. Jailer-man take look down the barrel of my gun"
And the Winter moon began to scream
Damndest thing I ever seen
Well his baby says she loves him, but he can't look at her no more
Well she said she'd never leave him and nailed his heart on to the door
Ya know he used to be a freebird till his baby put his face in the floor
Then the stars up and split the scene
Strangest thing I ever seen, man
Now his baby's in the ground, and tried everything he can
Yeah his baby's in the ground he got his pistol, he got his plan
There's one thing I didn't tell ya, he's sure one awful troubled man
Her eyes sure did lose their sheen
Saddest thing I ever seen
It takes a man to say he's sorry, long as he regrets what he's done
Takes a big man to say he's sorry chomping down on a loaded gun
Well I guess he should regret some things but least he wont regret being hung
That bullet she screamed straight and clean
Cruelest thing i ever seen
The sky looked dirty and mean
I wish this was a dream
He went down that old drunk road, to see if he could lay his hand
She said "son I ain't got none but I'll do the very best I can"
The sky looked dirty and mean
Greatest thing I ever seen
He went down the Jail House to see his brother and his son
He went down to the Jail House to see what trouble they begun
He said "Hey there Mr. Jailer-man take look down the barrel of my gun"
And the Winter moon began to scream
Damndest thing I ever seen
Well his baby says she loves him, but he can't look at her no more
Well she said she'd never leave him and nailed his heart on to the door
Ya know he used to be a freebird till his baby put his face in the floor
Then the stars up and split the scene
Strangest thing I ever seen, man
Now his baby's in the ground, and tried everything he can
Yeah his baby's in the ground he got his pistol, he got his plan
There's one thing I didn't tell ya, he's sure one awful troubled man
Her eyes sure did lose their sheen
Saddest thing I ever seen
It takes a man to say he's sorry, long as he regrets what he's done
Takes a big man to say he's sorry chomping down on a loaded gun
Well I guess he should regret some things but least he wont regret being hung
That bullet she screamed straight and clean
Cruelest thing i ever seen
The sky looked dirty and mean
I wish this was a dream
