I woke up this morning, couldn`t hardly get out of my bed (2x)
When I got the news, that Leroy Carr was dead
I run to the window, and I throwed up the blinds (2x)
I stood there wondering, and just couldn`t keep from crying
The day of his funeral, I hated to see Leroy`s face (2x)
Because I know there`s no one, could ever take his place
Then off to the funeral, then to the burying ground (2x)
My heart was breaking, as they lowered him down
He`s done singing, he`s done playing, you`ll never hear his voice no more (2x)
He was a real good pal, and I`ll miss him everywhere I go.
