Her close friends have gathered.
Lord, aint it a shame
Grieving together
Sharing the blame.
But when she was dying
Lord, we let her down.
Theres no use cryin
It cant help her now.
The partys all over
Drink up and go home.
Its too late to love her
And leave her alone.
Just say she was someone
Lord, so far from home
Whose life was so lonesome
She died all alone
Who dreamed pretty dreams
That never came true
Lord, why was she born
So black and blue?
Oh, why was she born
So black and blue?
