"Accident At A Harvest Festival" lyrics

Don't make me feel bad cause I know
It's too much to take in one go
But there's something that you should all know
Now tell all these young folks to go

I gave him my gun just to try
But it went off right in his eye
And his brains hit and bounced off my shed
So it's safe to assume that he's dead

Oh, my life is a festival
She's been so kind to me
And I know these people
And they never would spit in my eye

Don't make me feel sad cause I know
My news must've come as some blow
And losing a man is quite low
I'm off now, so mind how you go

When I think of the harvest we've had
And, praise God, I should be quite glad
Oh, On Earth, our blood turns to dirt
Most of his covered my shirt

Oh, my life is a festival
And I know it's because
And they're all straight and plain
And they never would spit in my eye

Oh, my life is a tapestry
Just plain honest folk
And they never would do
No not anything bad in their lives
