Sometimes I Wonder

Sometimes I wonder If the time draws nigh To cross the river deep To climb the mountain high Sometimes I wonder If the time draws nigh Sometimes I wonder What's this noise about? These mad philosophers Who say there's no way out Sometimes I wonder What is this noise about? When he went before the hanging judge To plead for clemency The hanging judge brought out a .45 When he said to a judge "I am my own worst enemy" She responded, "Not as long as I'm alive" As he wandered through the graveyard Looking for his friends He heard her singing in a mournful tone He went back each night to hear her And as the story ends It was the only place he never felt alone Sometimes I wonder If my time is long I got a feeling Something's gone on wrong Sometimes I wonder If my time is long
