A lady in a green coat, interrupted his day Floating in grey water in a most peculiar way He looked without much feeling But the Cloths behind her head Then he realized she was dead. Life is dear and much too short Something has gone wrong Why should a living lady Choose to give it up and drown. He began to know her story The reasons dull and grim Despair each like a shadow From her to him It will darken every happy day Now that he had seen Life make another victim A lady dressed in green. Life is dear and much too short But something has gone wrong Why should a living lady Choose to give it up and drown Give it up and drown Give it up and drown.
