In the streets the children screamed
|
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
|
And not a word was spoken
|
The church bells all were broken
|
|
The three men I admired most
|
The Father, Son, and The Holy Ghost
|
They took the last train for the coast
|
The day the music died
|
|
They were singing "Bye bye Miss American Pie"
|
I drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
|
Them good ol' boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye
|
Singing "This'll be the day that I die, this'll be the day that I die"
|
|
And the three men I admired most
|
The Father, Son, and The Holy Ghost
|
They took the last train for the coast
|
The day the music died
|
