His cDlothes were alway clean,

He wDorked day and night, his

He'd Dstruggled all his life to

He decDided to drive the car, he de-
Ccided to carry the gun, to take the
Gbiggest risk of all to prove his lGoyalty to his friends. He de-
Dcided to tell his wife

Without ... Ccold feet, Dcold cold cold cold fGeet..."G  
verse11:
He tDhought he'd set his clock right. He
Cthought he'd read his wath. He
Gleft in such a hurry, he didn't Gthink to wish for luck. Makes no
Ddifference if you're early, no
Cdifference if you're late,
Gwhen you're out of time. The Gflowers have been laid. You're Gsix feet underground with
Ccold feet, coDld cold cold cold feGet...
That's all. The rythm and the malody for each single verse varies...
Hope you enjoy the song, peat...
