$1000 Wedding (2002 Remaster) - Gram Parsons

Twas the 1000 wedding

Supposed to be held the other day

With all the invitations sent

Young bride went away

And the groom saw people passing notes

Not unusual he might say

Where are the flowers for my baby

I didn't like to see her mean old mama

Why ain't there a funeral

If you're gonna act that way

I hate to tell you how he acted

When the news arrived

It took some friends out drinking

And it's lucky they survived

Well he told everything there was

To tell along the way

He felt so bad when he saw the traces

Of old lies still on their faces

So why don't someone here just spike his drink

Why don't you do him in some old way

Supposed to be a funeral

It's been a bad bad day

Reverend dr william grace

Was talking to the crowd

All about the sweet child's holy face

And the saints who sung out loud

And he swore the fiercest beast

Could all be put to sleep the same silly way

And where are the flowers for the girl

She only knew she loved the world

And why ain't there one lonely horn

And one sad note to play

Supposed to be a funeral

It's been a bad bad day

Supposed to be a funeral

It's been a bad bad day
