Her close friends have gathered
Lord, ain't it a shame?
Grieving together
And sharing all the blame

Ooh when she was dying
Lord, we let her down
There's no use in crying
It can't help her now

The party is over
Drink up and go on home
It's too late to love her
I'll leave her alone, yeah

She was just someone
Just someone so far from home
Whose life was so lonesomе
She died all alone

Shе dreamed pretty dreams
That never came true
Lord, why was she born?
So black and so blue, ooh yeah
Lord, why was she born? Yeah
So black and blue, oh yeah
