Someone tell me, do you know
|
Where did Allen Woody go and were you there?
|
I was told with great remorse
|
He fell off his rocking horse and landed in his chair
|
|
Southern daylight hurts my eyes
|
Standing under southern skies as I stare
|
Somewhere down in Tennessee
|
The scene was all too much for me to bear
|
|
All my good friends, gather around
|
On the Nashville burial ground
|
|
Nashville grass that the sun burned brown
|
Ashes to ashes we all fall down
|
We all got to stand in the same judgement
|
For a lifetime lived and a lifetime spent
|
Nashville grass singing one more song
|
Carry him along, boys, carry him along
|
I saw these things come to pass
|
Standing on the Nashville grass
|
|
Standing in the Sunday suit
|
I saw his own black cowboy boots
|
|
Tell me someone, do you know
|
Where did Allen Woody go and were you there?
|
Were you there?
|
I was there
|
|
Nashville grass that the sun burned brown
|
Ashes to ashes we all fall down
|
We all got to stand in the same judgement
|
For a lifetime lived and a lifetime spent
|
|
Nashville grass singing one more song
|
Carry him along, boys, carry him along
|
I saw these things come to pass
|
Standing on the Nashville grass
