[00:13.69]Poor Jud is dead
[00:16.27]Poor Jud Fry is dead
[00:20.35]All gather round his coffin now and cry
[00:27.80]He had a heart of gold
[00:31.00]And he wasn't very old
[00:35.24]Oh why did such a fella have to die
[00:42.79]Poor Jud is dead
[00:45.56]Poor Jud Fry is dead
[00:49.78]He's looking oh so peaceful and serene
[00:54.94]And serene
[00:57.67]He's all laid down to rest
[01:00.92]With his hands across his chest
[01:05.17]His fingernails have never been so clean
[01:12.84]Then the preacher'd
[01:13.44]Get up and he'd say
[01:15.22]Folks we are gathered
[01:16.34]Here to mourn
[01:17.18]And growl our brother Jud Fry
[01:18.84]Who hung himself up
[01:20.08]By a rope in a smokehouse
[01:22.61]And then we have been weepin' and wailin'
[01:24.08]Within some of the women
[01:25.62]And then he'd say
[01:27.11]Jud was the most misunderstood man
[01:28.80]In the territory
[01:30.28]People used to think he was
[01:31.17]A mean ugly fella
[01:32.29]And they called him
[01:32.88]A dirty skunk and a northern
[01:34.29]Pig stealer
[01:36.10]But the folks
[01:37.82]That really knowed I'm
[01:40.11]Knowed that neath those dirty shirts
[01:42.22]He always wore
[01:44.17]There beated a heart
[01:45.64]As big as all outdoors
[01:48.35]As big as all outdoors
[01:50.45]Jud Fry loved his fellow man
[01:53.20]He loved his fellow man
[01:56.35]He loved the birds of the forest
[01:57.97]And the bees of the field
[01:59.71]He loved the mice
[02:00.38]And the vermin in the barn
[02:01.88]And he treated the rats like equals
[02:04.33]Which he knew was right
[02:06.25]He loved the little children
[02:08.69]He loved everything
[02:09.45]And everybody in the world
[02:11.75]Only only he never let on
[02:15.90]So nobody ever noticed
[02:19.61]Poor Jud is dead
[02:22.62]Poor Jud Fry is dead
[02:26.77]His friends all weep
[02:28.40]And wail from miles around
[02:31.47]Miles around
[02:34.27]The daisies in the dell
[02:37.43]Will give out a different smell
[02:41.41]Because poor Jud
[02:43.06]Is underneath the ground
[02:48.98]Poor Jud is dead
[02:51.86]The candle lights his head
[02:55.50]He's layin' in a coffin made of wood
[03:02.20]And folks are feelin' sad
[03:05.07]'Cause they used to treat him bad
[03:08.62]And now they know
[03:10.24]Their friend has gone for good
[03:15.94]Poor Jud is dead
[03:18.81]A candle lights his head
[03:22.99]He's looking
[03:23.97]Oh so pretty and so nice
[03:30.72]He looks like he's asleep
[03:34.01]It's a shame that he won't keep
[03:38.57]But it's summer
[03:39.83]And we're runinng out of ice
[03:47.11]Poor Jud
[03:54.81]Poor Jud
