sodom, south georgia

[Verse 1] Papa died smiling Wide as the ring of a bell Gone all star white Small as a wish in a well And Sodom, south Georgia Woke like a tree full of bees Buried in Christmas bows And a blanket of weeds [Chorus] Papa died Sunday and I understood All dead white boys say, "God is good" White tongues hang out, "God is good" [Verse 2] Papa died while my girl Lady Edith was born Both heads fell like Eyes on a crack in the door And Sodom, south Georgia Slept on an acre of bones Slept through Christmas Slept like a bucket of snow [Chorus] Papa died Sunday and I understood All dead white boys say, "God is good" White tongues hang out, "God is good"
