Poor Old Man
Copyright 2010 Mason Reed (ASCAP)

Poor old man, he’s dead
He slipped off the roof and he hit his head
There’s a spot in front of our house where the concretes still red
But you can’t come back from heaven when you’re dead

When’s daddy coming home ma?
Where’s he been?
When’s daddy coming home ma?
We wanna see him!
You can’t come back from heaven, mama said
No you can’t come back from heaven when you’re dead

I’ve been out to the graveyard,  in the night, all alone
I spit at the sky and I knelt on his gravestone
There’s a spot in front of my house where the old man bled
And you can’t come back from heaven when you’re dead
No you can’t come back from heaven, mama said
