$1000 Wedding Lyrics - Grievous Angel - Gram Parsons

It was a $1000 wedding supposed to be held the other day and 

With all the invitations sent 

The young bride went away 

When the groom saw people passing notes 

Not unusual, he might say 

But where are the flowers for my baby 

I'd even like to see her mean old mama 

And why ain't there a funeral, if you're gonna act that way 

I hate to tell you how he acted when the news arrived 

He took some friends out drinking and it's lucky they survived 

Well, he told them everything there was to tell there along the way 

And he felt so bad when he saw the traces of old lies still on their faces 

So why don't someone here just spike his drink 

Why don't you do him in some old way 

Supposed to be a funeral 

It's been a bad, bad day 

The Reverend Dr. William Grace 

Was talking to the crowd 

All about the sweet child's holy face and 

The saints who sung out loud 

And he swore the fiercest beasts 

Could all be put to sleep the same silly way 

And where are the flowers for the girl 

She only knew she loved the world 

And why ain't there one lonely horn and one sad note to play 

Supposed to be a funeral 

It's been a bad, bad day 

Supposed to be a funeral 

It's been a bad, bad day
