Seven Harkey - Pennies for Eyes Lyrics

Well your mamma told you
All about me
Super-8 movies
Helped you to see
That I was a good man
Until the day
I emptied the bottle
That sent me away

Ashamed of my father
Ashamed of my sons
Ashamed of the good life
And what it’s become
Well, it’s time to lay down
Where I never will tell
With pennies for eyes
I descend into hell

A cold country morning
A dark afternoon
I loaded the chamber
By another man’s moon
Well, prepare for the end son
‘Cause it’s never too soon
I said my farewells to
A cold empty room

The people all gathered
To speak their goodbyes
And you sit in wonder
While the fiddles, they cry
Well, sing to your mother
An old happy song
And be there for her
Now that I’m gone
