The Right to Sorrow |
| Take your fill of intimate remorse, perfumed sorrow |
| Over the dead child of a millionaire |
| And the pity of Death refusing any check on the bank |
| Which the millionaire might order his secretary to |
| Scratch off |
| And get cashed |
| Very well |
| You for your grief and I for mine |
| Let me have a sorrow my own if I want to |
| I shall cry over the dead child of a stockyards hunky |
| His job is sweeping blood off the floor |
| Now his three year old daughter |
| Is in a white coffin that cost him a week’s wages |
| Every Saturday night he will pay the undertaker fifty |
| Cents till the debt is wiped out |
| The hunky and his wife and the kids |
| Cry over the pinched face almost at peace in the white box |
| They remember it was scrawny and ran up high doctor bills |
