The Death of Leroy Carr Lyrics

Now people I'm gonna tell you, as near as I can (2x)
About the death of Leroy Carr, well he was my closest friend

On one Sunday morning, just about nine o'clock (2x)
That train struck him, and he began to reel and rock

He said "Lordy have mercy, I'm in so much misery (2x)Amos Easton - The Death of Leroy Carr - http://motolyrics.com/amos-easton/the-death-of-leroy-carr-lyrics.html
Please my friend, do all that you can for me"

Soon Monday morning, just about the break of day (2x)
We began crying, as he was passing away

I then called the doctor, on the telephone (2x)
When the doctor came, people he was dead and gone
