to gross his tongue over time and weekends old leroy never shirked they said it was amazing
how much he loved his work but one scorching afternoon he made his final round they slipped
into a fad of brew and poor old leroy drowned

we tried to rescue him but we didn't have no luck he kept diving to the bottom and we couldn't pull
him up
there was a solemn occasion all his buddies gathered round
you
we had to make arrangements for to put
him in the ground when we took the deer departed
over to the funeral place it took him a half an hour to get that big smile on
his face
brother daniels preached a funeral and he had some words to say about the life of brother
leroy before he passed away could it not have been avoided that he met this tragic individual




The preacher, he got up fast and went to the bathroom
But he kept jumping back in
Oh, the day that Leroy traveled
He was blowing pretty bubbles and a-swimming around
A-gurgling and a-giggling and a-wearing that silly grin
But he fought us like a flounder when we tried to haul him in
Oh, do any of you dear brothers remember
What was Brother Leroy's final word?
Yes, preacher, he said wonderful
Oh, the day that Leroy traveled
He couldn't call for help, but Lord, he never made a sound
We tried to rescue him, but we didn't have no luck
He kept diving to the bottom
Oh, the day that Leroy traveled

And we couldn't pull him up
Oh, the day that Leroy traveled
He was blowing pretty bubbles and a-swimming around
A-gurgling and a-giggling and a-wearing that silly grin
But he fought us like a flounder when we tried to haul him in
