I Developed A Pretty Unusual

God Gives Us Life And Takes Us Away As He Sees Fit.

I Wear The Black For The Poor And The Beaten Down, Livin’ In The Hopeless, Hungry Side Of Town.

Well, I Take Great Comfort In The Words Of The Apostle Paul Who Said, ‘what I Will To Do, That I Do Not Practice. But What I Hate, That I Do.’ And He Said, ‘it Is No Longer I Who Do It, But The Sin That Dwells Within Me. But Who,’ He Asks, ‘will Deliver Me From This Body Of Death?’ And He Answers For Himself And For Me, ‘through Jesus Christ The Lord.'

The Beer And The Wurst Were Wonderful, But I Was Dying To Be Back In The South, Where The Livin' Was Easy, Where The Fish Were Jumpin', Where The Cotton Grew High.

I Wear Black For Those Who Never Read Or Listen To The Words That Jesus Said, About The Road To Happiness, Through Love And Charity.
