Testo Pore Jud Is Daid - Laurence Guittard feat. Martin Vidnovic & Rodgers & Hammerstein
Testo della canzone Pore Jud Is Daid (Laurence Guittard feat. Martin Vidnovic & Rodgers & Hammerstein), tratta dall'album Oklahoma! (1979 Revival Cast Recording)
Pore Jud is daid
Pore Jud Fry is daid
All gather 'round his coffin now an' cry
He had a heart of gold
An' 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 an' serene
An' serene
He's all laid out to rest
With his hands acrost his chest
His fingernails have never been so clean
An' then the preacher'd get up an' he'd say
"Folks, we are gathered here to moan and groan over our brother
Jud Fry, who hung hisself up by a rope in the smokehouse."
An' then there'd be weepin' an' wailin' from some of them women
An' then he'd say
"Jud was the most misunderstood man in the territory
People used to think he was a mean, ugly feller, an'
They called him a dirty skunk an' an ornery pig stealer."
Lies!
But the folks that really knowed him
Knowed that beneath them two dirty shirts he always wore
There beat a heart as big as all outdoors
As big as all outdoors
Jud Fry loved his feller man
He loved his feller man
He loved the birds of the forest and the beasts of the field
He loved the mice and the vermin in the barn
An' he treated the rats like equals, which was right
An' he loved little children
He loved everybody an' everything in the world
Only he never let on, so nobody ever knowed it
Pore Jud is daid
Pore Jud Fry is daid
His friends'll weep an' wail fer miles around
Miles around
The daisies in the dell
Will give out a diff'rent smell
Becuz 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
An' folks are feelin' sad
Cause they used to treat him bad
An' now they know their friend has gone for good
Good
Pore Jud is daid
A candle lights his head
He's lookin' oh so purty an' so nice
He looks like he's asleep
It's a shame that he won't keep
But it's summer an' we're runnin' out of ice
Pore Jud
Pore Jud
