Pore Jud is Daid
[CURLY]
Pore Jud is daid
Pore Jud Fry is daid
All gather 'round his coffin now and cry
He had a heart of gold
And he wasn’t very old
Oh why did such a feller have to die?
Pore Jud is daid
Pore Jud Fry is daid
He's lookin' oh so peaceful and serene—

[JUD]
And serene

[CURLY]
He’s all laid out to rest
With his hands acrost his chest
His fingernails have never been so clean

Pore Jud is daid
Pore Jud Fry is daid
His friends'll weep and wail fer miles around

[JUD]
Miles around
[CURLY]
The daisies in the dell
Will give out a differеnt smell
Because Porе Jud is underneath the ground

[JUD]
Pore Jud is daid
A candle lights his head
He's layin' in a coffin made of wood

[CURLY]
Wood

[JUD]
And folks are feelin' sad
Cause they use to treat him bad
And now they know their friend is gone for good

[CURLY]
Good

[BOTH]
Pore Jud is daid
A candle lights his haid

[CURLY]
He's lookin' oh so purty and so nice
He looks like he's asleep
It’s a shame that he won’t keep
[JUD]
But it's summer and we’re running out of ice

[BOTH]
Pore Jud, Pore Jud
