Trudy Dies

I haven't known sorrow for so many years

With no foe to fight, death's all I feared

'Cause death can take you, death can take you

And that's just what it do, that's just what it do

A bird in my ear was beaking away

About all the jewels he'd come across that day

Jewels in the grass, jewels in the grass

Where the worms used to be, where the worms used to be

The cattle were lowing, they cried for your feet

The clowns were your arches, the cows were asleep

And they spoke of you, they spoke of you

As they laid there and mooed, as they laid there and mooed

The house walls are tighter, the bed, it is small

Housing just one soul, just one soul at all

Where it once held two, it once held two

Now it doesn't hold you, now doesn't hold you

The ride, and I won't be, towards working today

That's good, that's over, you are away

And now I'll undo, now I'll undo

That's just what I'll do, that's just what I'll do
