1
On the first day of May I took to the road
2
I'd been staring out the window most of the morning
3
I'd watched the rain claw at the glass
4
And a vicious wind blew hard and fast
5
I should have taken it as a warning
6
As a warning As a warning
7
As a warning
8
I'd given my nurse the weekend off
9
My meals were I'll prepared
10
My typewriter had turned mute as a tomb
11
And my piano crouched in the corner of my room
12
With all it's teeth bared
13
All it's teeth bared All it's teeth bared
14
All it's teeth bared.
15
Hallelujah Hallelujah
16
Hallelujah Hallelujah
17
I left my house without my coat
18
Something my nurse would not have allowed
19
And I took the small roads out of town
20
And I passed a cow and the cow was brown
21
And my pyjamas clung to me like a shroud
22
Like a shroud Like a shroud
23
Like a shroud
24
There rose before me a little house
25
With all hope and dreams kept within
26
A woman's voice close to my ear
27
Said, "Why don't you come in here?"
28
"You looked soaked to the skin"
29
Soaked to the skin Soaked to the skin
30
Soaked to the skin
31
Hallelujah Hallelujah
32
Hallelujah Hallelujah
33
I turned to the woman and the woman was young
34
I extended a hearty salutation
35
But I knew if my nurse had been here
36
She would never in a thousand years
37
Permit me to accept that invitation
38
Invitation That invitation
39
That invitation
40
Now, you might think it wise to risk it all
41
Throw caution to the reckless wind
42
But with her hot cocoa and her medication
43
My nurse had been my one salvation
44
So I turned back home
45
I turned back home I turned back home
46
Singing my song
47
Hallelujah
48
The tears are welling in my eyes again
49
Hallelujah
50
I need twenty big buckets to catch them in
51
Hallelujah
52
And twenty pretty girls to carry
53
Them down
54
Hallelujah
55
And twenty deep holes to bury them in
56
Hallelujah
57
The tears are welling in my eyes again
58
Hallelujah
59
I need twenty big buckets to catch them in
60
Hallelujah
61
And twenty pretty girls to carry them down
62
Hallelujah
63
And twenty deep holes to bury them in
