Hey Father Death, I'm flying home
D
Hey poor man, you're all alone
A                E              A
Hey old daddy, I know where I'm going
A
Father Death, don't cry anymore
D
Mama's there, underneath the floor
A                    E         A
Brother death please mind the store

Old Aunty Death, Don't hide your bones
Old Uncle Death, I hear your groans
O Sister Death, how sweet your moans

O Children Deaths go breath your breaths
Sobbing breasts'll ease your Deaths
Pain is gone, tears take the rest

Genius Death your, art is done
Lover Death, your body's gone
Father Death, I'm coming home

Guru Death, your words are true
Teacher Death I do thank you
For inspiring me to sing this Blues

Buddha Death, I wake with you
Dharma Death, your mind is new
Sangha Death, we'll work it through

Suffering is what was born
Ignorance made me forlorn
Tearful truths I cannot scorn

Father Breath once more farewell
Birth you gave was no thing ill
My heart is still as time will tell
