Big Man
Oh, how they cried when the big man died
They spilled buckets out their eyes
Plain white faces and plain gray stone
He took that line of cocaine up his nose
Sing for that big man, baby
Down by the river and the railroad tracks
Baby ain't happy that he's gone
But that won't bring him back to life now
When he went down, there was a trembling, oh
And they came far and wide to the funeral
When the people showed up, they were broken willed
They drank all day and they popped pills
Sing for that big man, baby
Down by the river and the railroad tracks
Baby ain't happy that he's gone
But that won't bring him back to life now
Bones buried, yeah, bones buried deep
Bones that won't shake now lay to sleep
And he looks down, oh, he looks up
He was a good man, that was enough
Sing for that big man, baby
Down by the river and the railroad tracks
Baby ain't happy that he's gone
But that won't bring him back to life now
Sing for that big man, baby
Down by the river and the railroad tracks
Baby ain't happy that he's gone
But that won't bring him back to life now
They spilled buckets out their eyes
Plain white faces and plain gray stone
He took that line of cocaine up his nose
Sing for that big man, baby
Down by the river and the railroad tracks
Baby ain't happy that he's gone
But that won't bring him back to life now
When he went down, there was a trembling, oh
And they came far and wide to the funeral
When the people showed up, they were broken willed
They drank all day and they popped pills
Sing for that big man, baby
Down by the river and the railroad tracks
Baby ain't happy that he's gone
But that won't bring him back to life now
Bones buried, yeah, bones buried deep
Bones that won't shake now lay to sleep
And he looks down, oh, he looks up
He was a good man, that was enough
Sing for that big man, baby
Down by the river and the railroad tracks
Baby ain't happy that he's gone
But that won't bring him back to life now
Sing for that big man, baby
Down by the river and the railroad tracks
Baby ain't happy that he's gone
But that won't bring him back to life now
