Red is the color of memory
Blue is the way to green
And darling, you did gamble
'Cause you were a dying breed
Yes, you were a dying breed

Yellow, the color of your skin
Black was the color of your hair
Your earthly days have passed you by
Where, oh where, oh where
Did you go when they took your bones?
Did you go when they took your bones and ran?

Red is the color of memory
Blue is the way to green
And darling, you did gamble
'Cause you were a dying breed
Yes, you were a dying breed

Frank, this song is for you, love
And for your curly hair
Your earthly days have passed you by
Where, oh where, oh where
Did you go when they took your bones?
Did you go when they took your bones and ran?
