Kris Kristofferson Epitaph (black And Blue) Lyrics

Epitaph (black And Blue) Lyrics

Her close friends have gathered

Lord, ain't it a shame?

Grieving together

Sharing the blame



But when she was dying

Lord, we let her down

There's no use cryin'

It can't help her now



The party's all over

Drink up and go home

It's too late to love her

And leave her alone



Just say she was someone

Lord, so far from home

Whose life was so lonesome

She died all alone



Who dreamed pretty dreams

That never came true

Lord, why was she born

So black and blue?

Oh, why was she born

So black and blue?
