lyrics

A HUNDRED YEARS AGO HE LIVED ALONE
HE LOVED A LOT HE BORE THE THRONE
HE WAS RICH MAN WITH A POOR MAN’S HEART
IT’S A LOST ART, A LOST ART
HIS SISTER HELD HIM WHEN HIS DADDY DIED
SHE TRIED TO TELL, HE TRIED TO CRY
HE TOOK HIS RIFLE AND HIS BAYONET
HE ALMOST LOST IT, LOST IT

THE WORLD IS A STRANGE, STRANGE PLACE
THIS WORLD IS A STRANGE PLACE
IT SEEMS BAD ONES WIN AND THE BEST GET SECOND PLACE
THIS WORLD IS A STRANGE PLACE

HE REACHED THE LAND ‘BOUT WHERE HIS MOMMA DIED
HE FELT THE GROUND, HE FINALLY CRIED
HE TRIED TO TELL HER OF HIS CIRCUMSTANCE
IT WAS HIS LAST CHANCE, HIS LAST CHANCE
HIS SISTER FOUND HIM ON THAT SUMMER’S EVE
HE BEGGED TO STAY, SHE HAD TO LEAVE
HE FOLLOWED HER BACK TO THEIR DADDY’S GRAVE
IT WAS HIS LAST DAY, HIS LAST DAY

THE WORLD IS A STRANGE, STRANGE PLACE
THIS WORLD IS A STRANGE PLACE
IT SEEMS BAD ONES WIN AND THE BEST GET SECOND PLACE
THIS WORLD IS A STRANGE PLACE

THE PEOPLE GATHERED ON THAT AFTERNOON
IT WAS FOUR O’CLOCK, THE 17TH OF JUNE
THEY STILL REMEMBER HIM THAT FATEFUL DAY
EACH YEAR THAT PASSES, THEY SEEM TO ALWAYS SAY

THE WORLD IS A STRANGE, STRANGE PLACE
THIS WORLD IS A STRANGE PLACE
IT SEEMS BAD ONES WIN AND THE BEST GET SECOND PLACE
THIS WORLD IS A STRANGE PLACE
