Life's good friends are hard to find   And now one of mine is dead   And things I should have said to her   I shall say to you instead      Mona mona   So much of you to love   Too much of you to take care of   Mona mona   You got too big to keep   And too damn old to eat      When you where just a football   At your mama's side   I reckon everyone figured you   For a bar-b-que when you died   And here I'm thinking about you   Lying underground   Pushing up a pine tree in my field      Oh mona mona   You can close your eyes   I've got a twelve gauge surprise   Waiting for you      Since the day she passed away   Everything's just the same   Everywhere I go   Somebody mentions her name   Sometimes it's easiest to tell   A friend a lie   They don't understand   The way I feel      Oh mona mona   So much of you to love   To much of you to take care of   So long      Now she is gone and I am   Left alone as you can see   But ever since I caused her death   I do miss her company
