Gilbert Green |
| On a hill, inside a house in covewell reach |
| Stands a man who’s feeling very tired |
| Looking at a song he wrote some time ago |
| Could have made it big inside a broadway show |
| Every day I go away and find ideas |
| Think, I’ll climb on top of somewhere high |
| Couldn’t I write a song about a man who’s dead |
| Didn’t really know if he was off his head |
| Ev’rybody knows, that’s the way it goes |
| Too bad for gilbert green |
| We can tell the world that he was right |
| Sitting in his attic on a sunny day |
| Mending 50 goblets that are worn |
| Humming to himself a song of yesteryear |
| His hearing wasn’t good but his eyes were clear |
| Ev’rybody knows, that’s the way it goes |
| Too bad for gilbert green |
| We can tell the world that he was right |
| Now the house is burnt along with gilbert green |
| Sad to see his sisters stand and cry |
| And in the basement lies a song that wasn’t seen |
| Tells the tale of laughing men and yellow beans |
| Ev’rybody knows, that’s the way it goes |
| Too bad for gilbert green |
| Now we can tell the world that he was right |
