Flying Burrito Brothers Down In The Churchyard Lyrics

Down In The Churchyard Lyrics

There is a man, a tall man, follows no one

Out in a storm can he stay warm

From all the things that he's done?



Oh, the city lights are such pretty lights

Can't he move on, tell him it's alright

Sing your song and say that it's alright

Say it's alright



There is a man, a crippled man, is he soldier?

Can his new wife live out her life

The way he told her?



Oh, see her pride, I see it burning bright

Be his friend and say that's it's alright

Shake your fist and tell him it's alright

Say it's alright



Where you have been is not a sin, it's where you're going

Hurt anyone by what you've done

And it starts showing



Although you can't complain about the wind and the rain

You gather down in the churchyard just the same

You want everyone to wash away the stain

It's very plain
