Lyrics
You came from the tribe of King David And all those poems and prayers that you painted Like the wise ancient biblical scrolls Are tattooed into our hearts and souls You were clothed in elegance and style You could melt a thousand hearts with your smile You never lost your fire and your passion Nor your kindness and your compassion Sing Hallelujah The Ladies Man is gone And we are left with his songs The Ladies Man is now gone But his memory will linger on and on Sing Hallelujah Sing Hallelujah When they robbed you of your money You pretended all was fine and sunny You didnt want anyone to show you pity Coz one thing they couldnt steal from you was your dignity You went back on the road again You were born to entertain Your ten new songs were refreshing May your memory be a blessing Sing Hallelujah The Ladies Man is gone And we are left with his songs The Ladies Man is now gone But his memory will linger on and on Sing Hallelujah With Pearl in Chelseas Room 424 On the unmade bed while the taxi waited outside by the door In the summer of love you had met Joni And you wrote for her Winter Lady Like many others she wouldnt stay When you left, you went on her birth day Sing Hallelujah You knew so many women in your life Despite them all you never took a wife Thanks Leo for the dance For your songs of love and loss and romance Sing Hallelujah And Maryanne Was close enough to take your hand But was too far to hold You said safe travels, well meet on down the road Sing Hallelujah The chariot youre climbing aboard You whisper to the driver Im ready oh Lord Im ready oh Lord Im ready oh Lord Take me home Take me home Take me home Sing Hallelujah Take me home Sing Hallelujah Take me home Sing Hallelujah Sing Hallelujah Sing Hallelujah
