I woke up this morning, couldn't hardly get out of my bed (2x)
When I got the news, that Leroy Carr was dead
I run to the window, and I throwed up the blinds (2x)
I stood there wondering, and just couldn't keep from crying
The day of his funeral, I hated to see Leroy's face (2x)
Because I know there's no one, could ever take his place
Then off to the funeral, then to the burying ground (2x)
My heart was breaking, as they lowered him down
He's done singing, he's done playing, you'll never hear his voice no more (2x)
He was a real good pal, and I'll miss him everywhere I go.
