(have You Heard The News) Dewey Cox Died Lyrics - Singles - Dewey Cox

Long black hearse, clear blue sky 

Preacher says his words, grown men cry 

Women start to faint, dark gray sky 

Simple wooden box, preacher asks, why 

Hey, have you heard the news? 

Dewey Cox died 

Put him in the ground, start to shovel dirt 

Grown men turn away, cannot bear the hurt 

You fell out of a tree, fell upon his head 

Rushed him to a hospital, there pronounced dead 

Hey, have you heard the news? 

Dewey Cox died 

No, say it isn't so, Dewey Cox died 

Flowers everywhere, children cry 

Guitar on the ground, God himself asks why 

Long black hearse, clear blue sky 

Preacher says his words, grown men cry 

Hey, have you heard the news? 

Dewey Cox died 

Why? 

Hey, have you heard the news? 

Dewey Cox died today 

Dead
