Pore Jud Is Daid Lyrics
[CURLY]
Pore Jud is daid
Pore Jud Fry is daid
All gather 'round his coffin now and cry
He had a heart of gold
And he wasn't very old
Oh why did such a feller have to die?
Pore Jud is daid
Pore Jud Fry is daid
He's lookin' oh so peaceful and serene—
[JUD]
And serene
[CURLY]
He's all laid out to rest
With his hands acrost his chest
His fingernails have never been so clean
Pore Jud is daid
Pore Jud Fry is daid
His friends'll weep and wail fer miles around
[JUD]
Miles around
[CURLY]
The daisies in the dell
Will give out a different smell
Because Pore Jud is underneath the ground
[JUD]
Pore Jud is daid
A candle lights his head
He's layin' in a coffin made of wood
[CURLY]
Wood
[JUD]
And folks are feelin' sad
Cause they use to treat him bad
And now they know their friend is gone for good
[CURLY]
Good
[BOTH]
Pore Jud is daid
A candle lights his haid
[CURLY]
He's lookin' oh so purty and so nice
He looks like he's asleep
It's a shame that he won't keep
[JUD]
But it's summer and we're running out of ice
[BOTH]
Pore Jud, Pore Jud
Pore Jud is daid
Pore Jud Fry is daid
All gather 'round his coffin now and cry
He had a heart of gold
And he wasn't very old
Oh why did such a feller have to die?
Pore Jud is daid
Pore Jud Fry is daid
He's lookin' oh so peaceful and serene—
And serene
He's all laid out to rest
With his hands acrost his chest
His fingernails have never been so clean
Pore Jud Fry is daid
His friends'll weep and wail fer miles around
Miles around
The daisies in the dell
Will give out a different smell
Because Pore Jud is underneath the ground
Pore Jud is daid
A candle lights his head
He's layin' in a coffin made of wood
Wood
And folks are feelin' sad
Cause they use to treat him bad
And now they know their friend is gone for good
Good
Pore Jud is daid
A candle lights his haid
He's lookin' oh so purty and so nice
He looks like he's asleep
It's a shame that he won't keep
But it's summer and we're running out of ice
Pore Jud, Pore Jud
