Epitaph (Black and Blue) Lyrics

Lord, ain't it a shame
Grievin' together
Sharin' the blame

There's no use cryin'
It can't help her now
The party's all over
Drink up and go home

And leave her alone
Just say she was someone

Whose life was so lonesome
She died all alone
Who dreamed pretty dreams
That never came true
Lord, why was she born
So black and blue
Oh, why was she born
So black and blue
