[Verse 1]
Here comes a G#mbarrow
Rumbling down the G#mlane
Some call him a G#mthief
Some said he was inG#msane
Straining in the Edarkness
Sleeping in the C#mday
That's what they G#msay
A lifeless G#mbody
In a mothy G#mrobe
A worn-out G#mhat
And a perforated G#mcoat
Nobody's gonna Emiss him
Or gather at his C#mgrave
That's what they G#msay

Put all of us to C#mshame

He walked with a G#mlimp

From far east to G#mwest
With a northwind down G#msouth
He was rendered an Eoutlaw
Was time to C#mrepay
That's what they G#msay

Rumbling down the lane

In a mothy robe

A worn-out hat

And a perforated coat

Nobody's gonna miss him

Or gather at his grave
