Testo:
1: George Collins drove home one cold winters night
George Collins drove home so fine
George Collins drove home one cold winters night
Was taken sick and died
2: His little sweet Nell in yonder room
was combing her silk so fine
But when she heard George Collins was dead
She laid her silks aside
3: Oh daughter oh daughter why do you weep
Theres more young men than one
Oh mother oh mother George had my heart
His race on earth is run
4: Set down the coffin take of the lid
Throw back the linen so fine
Oh let me kiss those cold clay lips
For I know theyll never kiss mine
5: Look up look down that lonesome road
Hang down your head and cry
The best of friends must part some day
So why not you and I
6: Oh cant you see that lonesome dove
Flying from pine to pine
Hes mourning for his own true love
Just as I do for mine
George Collins drove home so fine
George Collins drove home one cold winters night
Was taken sick and died
2: His little sweet Nell in yonder room
was combing her silk so fine
But when she heard George Collins was dead
She laid her silks aside
3: Oh daughter oh daughter why do you weep
Theres more young men than one
Oh mother oh mother George had my heart
His race on earth is run
4: Set down the coffin take of the lid
Throw back the linen so fine
Oh let me kiss those cold clay lips
For I know theyll never kiss mine
5: Look up look down that lonesome road
Hang down your head and cry
The best of friends must part some day
So why not you and I
6: Oh cant you see that lonesome dove
Flying from pine to pine
Hes mourning for his own true love
Just as I do for mine
