Hall & Oates - "Georgie" lyrics

Georgie was a skinny kid Fond of angling, fonder of dangling his feet in the cool brook water Sat at his side and fluttered his face with the fuzz of a While the Reverend's daughter dandelion. Long about noontime being rung by the parson Time for his lesson As much as he hated it, the preacher was teachin' him to Floating 'cross the field, Georgie heard the peel of a bell play the accordion. "Don't go Georgie!" said the Reverend's daughter But the girl caught her locket on an underwater branch "When Daddy comes lookin' we can duck in the water." They both went out and dipped down to hide and the next thing she knew... she died He was cryin', shoutin' 'bout her dyin' and livin' the Preacher was a sorry mess Should 'a seen his wife eternal life and tickled the keys Sobbin' on the ground as the wind rustled round Made Georgie's accordion give an awful dyin' wheeze
