文本歌词

Now people I'm gonna tell you
As near as I can
Now people I'm gonna tell you
As near as I can
About the death of Leroy Carr
Well he was my closest friend
On one Sunday morning
Just about nine o'clock
On one Sunday morning
Just about nine o'clock
The train struck him
And he began to reel and rock
He said Lordy have mercy
I'm in so much misery
He said Lordy have mercy
I'm in so much misery
Please my friend
Do all that you can for me
Soon Monday morning
Just about the break of day
Soon Monday morning
Just about the break of day
We began crying
As he was passing away
I then called the doctor
On the telephone
I then called the doctor
On the telephone
When the doctor came
People he was dead and gone
