Epitaph (Black And Blue)

(Kris Kristofferson - Donnie Fritts)



Her close friends have gathered Lord ain't it a shame

Grieving together sharing the blame

But when she was dying Lord we let her down

There's no use crying it can't help her now.



The party's all over drink up and go home

It's 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?...
