The Ike Reilly Assa**ination - What A Day lyrics

Today we buried our mother What a day What a day What a day I told my father I loved her But that I was going away Everything she believed in And everything she would say was buried in that box with her what a day what a day what a day had a luncheon at a café and before we ate we prayed all the people remembered why they had sent her away all the people remembered that nobody said a thing that she looked pretty and peaceful I guess that means that she's better off dead Oh yeah I guess that means that she's better off dead Today we buried our mother We laid the poor woman to rest Everyone got a new suit And my sister wore an ivory dress Today we buried our mother What a day What a day What a day I still remember the lullaby She was singing when they took her away She was singing when they took her away What a day What a day What a day What a day What a day What a day Goodness gracious, save my soul Another baby went down the hole Will it sink or will it rise? I'll mix its ashes with my wine.
