Glad Man Singing (Live)
Yonder come a glad man singing a song
About a soldier on a boot and a fallen angel
Naked as a fish at night
About a sad man climbed up a willow bough
Only cops are on the fence 'round the dog in the manger
The mouth of the river is wide
Wide, wide (wide, wide) wide
Wide-wide wide (wide)
Yeah, I've become a glad man singing a song
About the bushes by the gas pump gone to flower
And a constant star collides
About a sad man singing they've forgotten how
The baby quick sucking when the milk went sour
And the mouth of the river is wide
Wide-wide, wide (wide, wide)
Wide-wide, wide (wide)
Wide-wide, wide (wide, wide)
Wide-wide, wide (wide) wide-wide
About a sad man lost in the Hammock'Sway
When the bridal gown came, mama spit out the window, oh
And the cops say the dog won't bite
The sad man's saying they've forgotten when
And the blood running black in the valley shadow woes
The river running all the while
Yonder come a glad man singing a song
About a lover rolled over, said, "You must be tired"
And then truth coming towards the light
About a sad man knocking on a chapel door
And a burned out boat called 'Tried by Fire'
And the mouth of the river is wide
Wide (wide) wide-wide
Wide wide-wide
Wide-wide (wide, wide) wide-wide
Wide wide-wide
Wide wide-wide, (wide, wide)
Wide wide-wide (wide, wide) wide, wide, wide, wide
Wide (wide, wide)
About a soldier on a boot and a fallen angel
Naked as a fish at night
About a sad man climbed up a willow bough
Only cops are on the fence 'round the dog in the manger
The mouth of the river is wide
Wide, wide (wide, wide) wide
Wide-wide wide (wide)
Yeah, I've become a glad man singing a song
About the bushes by the gas pump gone to flower
And a constant star collides
About a sad man singing they've forgotten how
The baby quick sucking when the milk went sour
And the mouth of the river is wide
Wide-wide, wide (wide, wide)
Wide-wide, wide (wide)
Wide-wide, wide (wide, wide)
Wide-wide, wide (wide) wide-wide
About a sad man lost in the Hammock'Sway
When the bridal gown came, mama spit out the window, oh
And the cops say the dog won't bite
The sad man's saying they've forgotten when
And the blood running black in the valley shadow woes
The river running all the while
Yonder come a glad man singing a song
About a lover rolled over, said, "You must be tired"
And then truth coming towards the light
About a sad man knocking on a chapel door
And a burned out boat called 'Tried by Fire'
And the mouth of the river is wide
Wide (wide) wide-wide
Wide wide-wide
Wide-wide (wide, wide) wide-wide
Wide wide-wide
Wide wide-wide, (wide, wide)
Wide wide-wide (wide, wide) wide, wide, wide, wide
Wide (wide, wide)
