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
