Big Man

Oh how they cried when the big man died

They spilled buckets out their eyes

Plain white faces and plain grey 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 boy

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 young

Bones buried deep

Bones I 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
