Glad Man Singing

Yeah, I've become a glad man singing a song 'Bout a soldier want a boot and a fallen angel Naked as a fish at night 'Bout a sad man climbed up a willow bough And the cops are on the fence 'round a dog in the manger And the mouth of the river is 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 saying they've forgotten how And a baby quit sucking when the milk went sour And the mouth of the river is wide Wide, wide, wide, wide About a sad man lost in the hammock's sway When the bridal gown came mama spit out the window And the cops said the dog won't bite And the sad man's saying they've forgotten how And the blood running black in the valley shadows River running all the while Yeah, I've become a glad man singing a song About a lover rolled over, said you must be tired And the truth coming towards the light About a sad man knocking on a chapel door And a burned out boat called Tried by Fire The mouth of the river is wide Wide, wide, wide, wide
