It Could Be Worse
It's raining so hard
And the cabs, they won't stop
But that's not as bad, now, is it
As the Montgomery bus boycott?
Gallows Hill and Andersonville
It could be, it could be worse
Gallows Hill and Andersonville
It could be, it could be worse
You're having a party
And you ran out of beers
And your friends, they left early, now didn't they, but
That's no trail of tears
Gallows Hill and Andersonville
It could be, it could be worse
Gallows Hill and Andersonville
It could be, it could be worse
You asked for baked potato
And they gave you fried
But that's not as sad, now, is it
As the day the music died?
Gallows Hill and Andersonville
It could be, it could be worse
Gallows Hill and Andersonville
It could be, it could be worse
