Poor Old Jed

Poor old Jed

He didn’t have
a whole lotta loot, naw,
Just an old gold watch
and a flannel suit.
An old hound dog
and a cat to boot, yeah
but he didn’t have no kinfolk.
Poor old Jed,

His old shack

his front yard there was overgrown
yeah, he lived there
he lived there all alone,
he didn’t have no kinfolk.
Poor old Jed,

Today they laid him in the ground,

from miles around.
Nobody gonna let old Jed down now,

he didn’t have no kinfolk.
Poor old Jed,
Poor old Jed,

Poor old Jed,
Poor old Jed,

Poor old Jed,
Poor old Jed,
he didn’t have no kinfolk.
