[Verse 1]
When Daddy told me what happened
I couldn't believe what he just said
Sonny shot himself with a .44
And they found him lyin' on his bed
[Verse 2]
I could not speak a single word
No tears streamed down my face
I just sat there on the living room couch
Starin' off into space
[Verse 3]
Mama and Daddy went over to the house
To see what had to be done
They took the sheets off of the bed
And they went to call someone
[Verse 4]
Some of us gathered at a friend's house
To help each other ease the pain
I just sat alone in a corner chair
I couldn't say much of anything
[Verse 5]
We drove on out to the country
His friends all stood around
Subiaco Cemetery
Is where we lay him down
