Michael Jones - Father Earl lyrics

Just a holy man trying just the best he can

He was more than kind, he was a friend of mine

Sacrificed his health, even sacrificed his wealth

Every penny spent. He paid for such a long time

So many times he helped me through

Your life's the passed but your memory's true

So many times, I think of you

But it's all over now

The good deeds that he done

Every young boy was his son

A Father to us all, so long as I recall

If there's a paradise

For every good man when he dies

There's one for Father Earle

Where he can looke out for us all

So many times, he helped me through

Your life's the passed but your memory's true

So many times, I think of you

But it's oh so hard for me to understand

It's just too much to demande

Why someone good should leave us all

This way, it's over now
