Paragraph Lyric
Her close friends have gathered.
Lord, ain't it a shame
Grieving together
Sharing the blame.
But when she was dying
Lord, we let her down.
There's no use cryin'
It can't help her now.

The party's all over
Drink up and go home.
It's too late to love her
And leave her alone.
Just say she was someone
Lord, so far from home
Whose life was so lonesome
She died all alone
Who dreamed pretty dreams
That never came true
Lord, why was she born
So black and blue?
Oh, why was she born
So black and blue?
Her close friends have gathered.  Lord, ain't it a shame  Grieving together  Sharing the blame.  But when she was dying  Lord, we let her down.  There's no use cryin'  It can't help her now.    The party's all over  Drink up and go home.  It's too late to love her  And leave her alone.  Just say she was someone  Lord, so far from home  Whose life was so lonesome  She died all alone  Who dreamed pretty dreams  That never came true  Lord, why was she born  So black and blue?  Oh, why was she born  So black and blue?
