Long Black Hearse
Clear Blue Sky
Preacher says his words
Grown Men Cry
Women start to faint
Dark Grey Sky
Simple Wooden Box
Preacher asks Why?

Hey, Have you heard the news?
Dewey Cox Died

Put him in the ground
Start to shovel dirt
Grown men turn away
Can't bear the hurt
Fell Out of a tree
Landed on His head
Rushed him to a hospital
There pronounced dead

Hey, Have you heard the news?
Dewey Cox Died
No, Say it isn't so, Dewey Cox Died!

Flowers Everywhere
Children Cry
Guitar on the ground
God himself asks why
Long Black Hearse
Clear Blue Sky
Preacher Says his Words
Grown Men Cry

Hey Have you heard the news?
Dewey Cox Died
Why?
Hey, Have you heard the news?
Dewey Cox Died
Today!

Dead!
