Sodom South Georgia Lyrics

Sodom South Georgia lyrics

Papa died smiling 

Wide as the ring of a bell 

Gone all star white


Small as a wish in a well 

And Sodom, South Georgia 

Woke
like a tree full of bees 

Buried in Christmas 

Bows and a blanket
of weeds 



Papa died Sunday and I understood 

All dead white
boys say, "God is good" 

White tongues hang out, "God is good" 



Papa died while my 

Girl Lady Edith was born 

Both heads
fell like 

Eyes on a crack in the door 

And Sodom, South Georgia


Slept on an acre of bones 

Slept through Christmas 

Slept
like a bucket of snow 



Papa died Sunday and I understood 

All dead white boys say, "God is good" 

White tongues hang out, "God is
good"
