MOURNERS<br>
There is a fountain filled with blood<br>
Drawn from Immanuel's veins<br>
And sinners plunged beneath that flood<br>
Lose all their guilty stains,<br>
Lose all their guilty stains,<br>
Lose all their guilty stains,<br>
And sinners plunged beneath that flood<br>
Lose all their guilty stains.<br>
<br>
CRAIG<br>
The simple white coffin was carried by three of Mary's cousins and three of her young friends.<br>
<br>
MOURNERS<br>
The dying thief rejoiced to see<br>
That fountain in his day.<br>
And there may I, though vile as he,<br>
Wash all my sins away.<br>
<br>
CRAIG (overlapping)<br>
Several more friends volunteered to serve as pall-bearers, <br>
but they were deemed too small to shoulder the burden. <br>
Recent heavy rains made the North Georgia red clay soil glow, <br>
as Mary Phagan, just two months shy of fourteen, was laid to her final rest.<br>
<br>
FRANKIE<br>
God forgive me what I think.<br>
God forgive me what I wish right now.<br>
<br>
CRAIG<br>
Well, you must've known Mary pretty well.<br>
<br>
FRANKIE<br>
Yessir, I did.<br>
<br>
CRAIG<br>
Then this must be a mighty hard day for you.<br>
<br>
FRANKIE<br>
Did you ever hear her laugh?<br>
When she laughed, you swore you'd never cry again.<br>
Did you ever see her smile?<br>
Her smile was like a glass of lemonade.<br>
And she said funny things,<br>
And she wore pretty dresses,<br>
And she liked to see the pictures at the VFW Hall,<br>
And she loved ridin' swings,<br>
And she liked cotton candy,<br>
But I think she liked the pictures best of all:<br>
<br>
No, it don't make sense to me<br>
That she won't be around.<br>
No, it don't make sense to me<br>
To put her in the cold and lonely ground.<br>
And no, it don't make sense<br>
The way the world can let you fall---<br>
I swear if don't make sense to me at all.<br>
<br>
MOURNERS<br>
Dear dying Lamb,<br>
Thy precious blood<br>
Shall never lose its pow'r:<br>
<br>
GIRL<br>
She had two crooked teeth:<br>
<br>
KID<br>
She had cuts on her fingers:<br>
<br>
SECOND GIRL<br>
She worked next to me last summer:<br>
<br>
THIRD GIRL<br>
Once a week we used to play:<br>
<br>
SECOND GIRL<br>
And she knew how to read:<br>
<br>
GIRL<br>
She would smile at the foreman:<br>
<br>
CHILDREN<br>
And I can't believe they took my friend away:<br>
<br>
MOURNERS & CHILDREN<br>
|No, it don't make sense to me|<br>
That she will not be there|No, it don't make sense to me.<br>
<br>
FRANKIE<br>
|When she laughed, you swore you'd never cry again.<br>
<br>
A MOTHER<br>
She loved when I tied ribbons in her hair:<br>
<br>
ALL<br>
And no, it don't make sense,<br>
They way the sun can still burn down.<br>
No, it don't make sense to me:<br>
<br>
FRANKIE<br>
God forgive me what I think.<br>
<br>
CRAIG<br>
Tell me, son, you got any idea who it was?<br>
<br>
FRANKIE<br>
God forgive me what I wish right now.<br>
I don't know the coward's name.<br>
I don't know the bastard's face.<br>
But I swear right now to God:<br>
He ain't never gonna get away with what he done to Mary!<br>
Let him quiver in his boots!<br>
Let him run until he bleeds!<br>
I won't rest until I know<br>
Hes's burning in the ragin' fires of Hell forevermore!<br>
<br>
MOURNERS<br>
There is a fountain filled with blood<br>
Drawn from Immanuel's veins:<br>
<br>
FRANKIE<br>
God forgive me what I think.<br>
God forgive me what I wish right now:<br>
<br>
MOURNERS (overlapping)<br>
And sinners plunged beneath that flood<br>
Lose all their guilty stains.<br>
