$1000 Wedding (2002 Remaster) - Gram Parsons
Twas the 1000 wedding
Supposed to be held the other day
With all the invitations sent
Young bride went away
And the groom saw people passing notes
Not unusual he might say
Where are the flowers for my baby
I didn't like to see her mean old mama
Why ain't there a funeral
If you're gonna act that way
I hate to tell you how he acted
When the news arrived
It took some friends out drinking
And it's lucky they survived
Well he told everything there was
To tell along the way
He felt so bad when he saw the traces
Of old lies still on their faces
So why don't someone here just spike his drink
Why don't you do him in some old way
Supposed to be a funeral
It's been a bad bad day
Reverend dr william grace
Was talking to the crowd
All about the sweet child's holy face
And the saints who sung out loud
And he swore the fiercest beast
Could all be put to sleep the same silly way
And where are the flowers for the girl
She only knew she loved the world
And why ain't there one lonely horn
And one sad note to play
Supposed to be a funeral
It's been a bad bad day
Supposed to be a funeral
It's been a bad bad day
