Sodom, South Georgia

Papa died smiling
 Wide as the ring of a bell
 ♪
 Gone all star white
 Small as a wish in a well
 
 And Sodom, South Georgia
 Woke like a tree full of bees
 ♪
 Buried in Christmas
 Bows and a blanket of weeds
 Papa died Sunday, and I understood
 ♪
 All dead white boys say God is good
 White tongues hang out, God is good
 ♪
 Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
 Ah-ah-ah-ah
 Papa died while my girl
 Lady Edith was born
 ♪
 Both heads fell like eyes
 On a crack in the door
 
 And Sodom, South Georgia
 Slept on an acre of bones
 
 Slept through Christmas
 Slept like a bucket of snow
 ♪
 Papa died Sunday, and I understood
 
 All dead white boys say God is good
 White tongues hang out, God is good
 ♪
 Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
 Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
 Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
