Poor Jud is dead Poor Jud Fry is dead 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?
In my little town I never meant nothing, I was just my father's son Saving my money, Dreaming of glory, Twitching like finger on the trigger of a gun Leaving nothing but the dead and dying Back in my little town.
