She Sang Hymns out of Tune - The Dillards
She sang hymns out of tune
And carried a yellow balloon
She traded her love
For a spanish doubloon
And talked to the people
The people who are
I have a clock on the wall
It keeps time and that isn't all
It tells me how long she's been gone
Gone to the people
The people who are
She lived in a sorcerer's room
She pounded the table
And brandished the broom
She turned ten thousand
When she touched the moon
And turned to the people
The people who are
The rain came and scattered away
The old antique caretaker's children that play
Early this morning she passed away
Passed to the people the people who are
She sang hymns out of tune
And carried a yellow balloon
She traded her love for a Spanish doubloon
And talked to the people
The people who are
