Death of Ealase

Well it was early on Friday evening, that's when my Ealase passed away
Early on Friday evening, that's when my Ealase passed away
She was taken away by 'r ol' cancer, and ol' Red could do nothin' for 'r that day

I know the kids gonna miss you honey, and you know Red gonna miss you too
The kids gonna miss you honey, and I know I'm gonna miss you too
When they took your flowers out your room, ain't nothin' more none of us could do

All right son, I'm gonna play it... (guitar solo)

Now you know I loved you Ealase, that's why I went down and dug your grave
You know I loved you Ealase, I went down and dug your grave
If I live right and be right honey, I'll join you somewhere someday

One more time boy... (guitar solo)

Well you know I loved you Ealase, that's why I went down and dug your grave
You know I loved you Ealase, that's why I went down and dug your grave
If I do right and live right honey, I'll join you up there someday
