Alms for Saint Frances
Frances was a poet
He died alone in the street
Poor Saint Frances
He couldn't find nothing to eat
In the sanitarium
They never turn your way
The beds are dressed in linen
And they feed you twice a day
They serve you gas for breakfast
The needle slips into the vein
Two teaspoons at bedtime
And you'll never hear them complain
Laudanum for the sorrow
And ether for the pain
Two spoonfuls at bedtime
And you'll never see them again
The angels sleep in linen
The madman sleep out in the rain
He died alone in the street
Poor Saint Frances
He couldn't find nothing to eat
In the sanitarium
They never turn your way
The beds are dressed in linen
And they feed you twice a day
They serve you gas for breakfast
The needle slips into the vein
Two teaspoons at bedtime
And you'll never hear them complain
Laudanum for the sorrow
And ether for the pain
Two spoonfuls at bedtime
And you'll never see them again
The angels sleep in linen
The madman sleep out in the rain
