Oklahoma movie - Pore Jud Is Daid (Alternate take/Complete Version) lyrics
rate me<br>
CURLY (singing):<br>
Pore Jud is daid, pore Jud Fry is daid;<br>
All gather 'round his coffin now and cry.<br>
He had a heart of gold and he wasn't very old,<br>
Oh, why did such a fella have to die.<br>
<br>
Pore Jud is daid, pore Jud Fry is daid;<br>
He's lookin' oh, so peaceful and serene (JUD: and serene).<br>
He's all laid out to rest with his hands across his chest;<br>
His fingernails have never been so clean.<br>
<br>
CURLY (spoken):<br>
Why then the preacher'd get up and he'd say:<br>
"Folks, we're gathered together here today to moan and groan over brother Jud Fry who hung himself up by a rope in the<br>
smokehouse."<br>
(Then there'd be weepin' and wailin', from some of those women.)<br>
Then he'd say:<br>
"Jud was the most misunderstood man in the territory. People used to think he was a mean, ugly fella; used to think he was a<br>
dirty skunk and orn'ry pig stealer."<br>
<br>
CURLY (singing):<br>
But the folks who really knowed him, know that beneath the two dirty shirts that he always wore,<br>
There beat a heart as big as all out doors (JUD: as big as all out doors).<br>
Jud Fry loved his fellow man (JUD: he loved his fellow man).<br>
<br>
CURLY (spoken):<br>
He loved the birds of the forest,<br>
He loved the beasts in the field,<br>
He loved the mice and vermin and he treated the rats like equal (which was right).<br>
He loved everybody and everything, he loved the little children only . . . only he never let on, so nobody ever knowed it.<br>
<br>
CURLY (singing):<br>
Pore Jud is daid, pore Jud Fry is daid;<br>
His friends'll weep and wail for miles around (JUD: miles around).<br>
The daisies in the dell will give out a different smell<br>
Because poor Jud is under neath the ground.<br>
<br>
JUD (singing):<br>
Pore Jud is daid, a candle lights his haid.<br>
He's layin' in a coffin made of wood (CURLY: wood),<br>
And folks are feelin' sad 'cause they used to treat him bad,<br>
But now they know their friend is gone for good (CURLY: good).<br>
<br>
BOTH (singing):<br>
Pore Jud is daid, a condle lights his haid.<br>
<br>
CURLY (singing):<br>
He's lookin' oh, s'purdy and s'nice.<br>
He looks like he's asleep, it's a shame that he won't keep,<br>
But it's summer and we're runnin' out of ice.<br>
BOTH (singing):<br>
Pore . . . Jud<br>
Pore . . . Jud<br>
<br>
