lyrics
Before his Mama got home
Henry took a knife and a length of rope,
hung it from a streetlight,
hung it from a bus stop streetlight.

Tied it really slowly,
careful not to let the knot slip down,
buttoned up his best suit,
thinking, “Mama, I’m so sorry.”

Mama left the factory
dreaming of her Sunday day of rest,
got off at the bus stop,
saw her son hanging down, with his throat cut.

Henry was a saint, man.

“I’m going to go, sooner than my mother wanted me too,
but I’ve nothing left to live for anyway.”

Henry was a saint, man.
