The Death Of Leroy Carr (dedicated To The Memory Of Leroy C Lyrics

Now people I'm gonna tell you, as near as I can (2x)

About the death of
Leroy Carr, well he was my closest friend



On one Sunday morning,
just about nine o'clock (2x)

That train struck him, and he began to reel
and rock



He said "Lordy have mercy, I'm in so much misery (2x)

Please my friend, do all that you can for me"



Soon Monday
morning, just about the break of day (2x)

We began crying, as he was
passing away



I then called the doctor, on the telephone (2x)

When the doctor came, people he was dead and gone
