Little John took the easy way
He said bye bye to the light of day
He didn't need a gun and all
He went flying and he took a fall
There ain't no easy way
I said there ain't no easy way, no no no

I could have told you there's no easy way
You've got to face it there's no easy way, no no no

Little Ann took the easy way
She said take the money and run away
Lie down and look away
Save the money for a rainy day
There ain't no easy way
I said there ain't no easy way
Every day is a rainy day

You are so lovely, you are so beautiful
Please don't cry, please don't be miserable
You may have problems and you may want to die
But please don't worry, let it all pass by
There's no easy way to shake off sorrow
But maybe the only way is to think about tomorrow
