It's A Tragedy it's A Tragedy it's A Tragedy it's A Tragedy
he Was Only Twenty Five had An Open Heart And Tender Mind he Sang Through all The Hymns He Knew he Was Searching For A Higher Sign when His Water Was Turned To Wine all The Darkness Became Light
the Babies And A Patient Wife they Just Weren't Enough To Keep Him High so He Gave Them Up just To Fill His Cup every Sip Would Make Him Feel Alive no Bones In His Body Were Dry
it's A Tragedy it's A Tragedy it's A Tragedy it's A Tragedy
now He's Finally Come Around he's Got Wrinkles And A Crooked Frown he Holds Back Tears thinkin' Of The Years that The Bottle Had Him All Tied Down so He'll Sit And Have Another Round singin' Hallelujah Till He Drowns
it's A Tragedy it's A Tragedy it's A Tragedy it's A Tragedy
