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
