There wGas a little boy

His cGlothes were alway clean,

verse7:
He wGorked day and night, his
Ffingers to the bone.
FHis worried mind, guilty conscience drive him on. He can

verse8:
He'd Gstruggled all his life to
Fbe an honest man, proud that the

He decGided to drive the car, he de-
Fcided to carry the gun, to take the

Flittle boy is dead, a Fman stands with you now, without...

verse11:
He tGhought he'd set his clock right. He
Fthought he'd read his wath. He
Fleft in such a hurry, he didn't Fthink to wish for luck. Makes no
Gdifference if you're early, no
Fdifference if you're late,
Fwhen you're out of time. The Fflowers have been laid. You're Fsix feet underground with
Fcold feet, coGld cold cold cold feFet...
That's all. The rythm and the malody for each single verse varies...
Hope you enjoy the song, peat...
