Francious' Lament

I know my days are numbered

I count them in my head

When I get all the way to zero

Come and see me, I'll be dead.

You know I got them old Bein' Alive Blues.

If there's angels up in heaven

I guess that'll be good news,

But sometimes I get the feeling

That the whole thing is a ruse.

Then again, if it's not

You won't see me in the sky,

My mama told me it would be quite warm where I'm goin',

And since I'm French I'll fry.
