One more man gone
2
One more man gone
3
One more man is gone
4
The good son walks into the field
5
He is a tiller, he has a tiller's hands
6
But down in his heart now
7
He lays down his queer plans
8
Against his brother and against his family
9
Yet he worships his brother
10
And he worships his mother
11
But it's his father, he says, is an unfair man
12
The good son
13
The good son
14
The good son
15
The good son has sat and often wept
16
Beneath a malign star by which he's kept
17
And the night-time in which he's wrapped
18
Speaks of good and speaks of evil
19
And he calls to his mother
20
And he calls to his father
21
But they are deaf in the shadows
22
Of his brother's truancy
23
The good son
24
The good son
25
The good son
26
The good son
27
And he curses his mother
28
And he curses his father
29
And he curses his virtue like an unclean thing
30
The good son
31
The good son
32
The good son
33
One more man gone
34
One more man gone
35
One more man
36
One more man gone
37
One more man gone
38
One more man
39
One more man gone
40
One more man gone
41
One more man
42
