:56:02
I guess maybe youre right.
:56:05
Theyd sure sing loud, though,
when the singing would start...
:56:08
... sing like their hearts would break.
:56:12
Pore Jud is daid,
:56:14
Pore Jud Fry is daid,
:56:19
All gether round his cawfin now and cry.
:56:26
He had a heart of gold
:56:29
And he wasnt very old--
:56:33
Oh, why did sich a feller have to die?
:56:41
Pore Jud is daid,
:56:44
Pore Jud Fry is daid,
:56:48
Hes lookin, oh, so peaceful and serene--
:56:53
And serene!
:56:55
Hes all laid out to rest
:56:59
With his hands across his chest.
:57:03
His fingernails have never ben so clean.
:57:11
Why then the preacherd get up,
and hed say:
:57:13
Folks, we are gathered here to moan
and groan over our brother Jud Fry...
:57:17
... who hung himself up
by a rope in the smokehouse.
:57:20
Then thered be weepin and wailin
from some of those women.
:57:24
And then hed say:
:57:25
Jud was the most misunderstood man
in this territory.
:57:28
People used to think he was a mean,
ugly fella and call him a dirty skunk...
:57:32
... and ornry pig stealer.
:57:34
But the folks that really knowed him
:57:38
Know that beneath
them two dirty shirts he always wore
:57:42
There beat a heart as big as all outdoors
:57:46
As big as all outdoors
:57:48
Jud Fry loved his fellow man
:57:51
He loved his fellow man
:57:54
He loved the birds of the forests
and the beasts of the field
:57:57
He loved the mice and the vermin
in the barn
