lyrics

(the same song)

Tuesday I sang for a man they put into the ground
Saturday I sang for his nephew and his bride
Same church, same key, same fiddle, same two verses
And the only thing that changed was who was crying

The same song (the same song)
I sang the same song
Twice in one week, the same song
The same song

The same song, same song, the same song, same song
Every big day needs a tune that knows the room
The same song, same song, the same song, same song
And there is only one and everybody knows it

A woman stopped me at the bar on the Saturday night.
She said "you sang that at my mother's." I said "I know."
She said "don't ever stop doing that." And bought me a pint.

The same song, same song, the same song, same song
Every big day needs a tune that knows the room
The same song, same song, the same song, same song
And there is only one and everybody knows it

(the same song...)
