People came from miles around

 To pay respects with painted frowns

 Hanging round to see the old man down

 Underneath the ground



 Brother Luke he turned away

 And Uncle John refused to stay

 Doctor Tom said Don't cry he'll get by

 He'll see another day



 Alright, it's alright

 I'm gonna get to see you

 Alright, it's alright

 I'm gonna get to see you



 But the old man's not so blind

 Faked the day so he could find

 The only tear to rest upon his hand

 They didn't understand

 

 Alright, it's alright

 I'm gonna get to see you

 Alright, it's alright

 I'm gonna get to see you
