Jamie

Jamie was a friend of mine He was twenty-five when he died He was twenty-five when he died And he'd hate me, but I get angry Well, I wish my friend was still alive, oh Lord Oh, I wish my friend was still alive And when he died, oh, they took him to his grave And they carried him there on the back of a parade On the back of a parade And when he died, they sent his spirit to the sky Then he came back down with a piano in his mouth A piano in his mouth Oh, Desi was a friend of mine She's a mermaid now, mama She's a mermaid now, mm In the morning, it gets lonely Well, I wish my friends were still alive Oh, I wish my friends were still alive And when she died, oh, they took her to her grave And they carried her there on the back of a parade On the back of a parade And when she died, they sent her spirit to the sky Then it came back down with a piano in her mouth A piano in her mouth And when they died they, oh, took 'em to their graves And they carried them there on the back of a parade On the back of a parade And when they died, they sent their spirits to the sky Then they came back down with a piano in their mouths A piano in their mouths And the music did come out The piano in their mouths Oh, Jamie was a friend of mine He was twenty-five when he died, oh Lord And I wish my friend was still alive --- Jamie - Kevin Morby
