The Ballad of Harry Lewis Lyrics

 

Of a great man of the cloth

 

His name was harry lewis

 

And he worked for irving roth

 

He died while cutting velvet

 

On a hot July the 4th

 

But his cloth goes shining on

 

Glory glory harry lewis

Glory glory harry lewis

Glory glory harry lewis

His cloth goes shining on

 

Oh harry lewis perished

 

In the service of his lord

 

He was trampling through the warehouse

 

Where the drapes of roth are stored

 

He had the finest funeral

 

The union could afford

 

And his cloth goes shining on

 

Glory glory harry lewis

Glory glory harry lewis

Glory glory harry lewis

His cloth goes shining on

 

Although a fire was raging

 

Harry stood by his machine

 

And when the firemen broke in

 

They discovered him between

 

A pile of roasted dacron

And some french fried gabardine

 

His cloth goes shining on

 

Glory glory harry lewis

 

Glory glory harry lewis

Glory glory harry lewis

 

His cloth goes shining on
