THE BALLAD OF DANNY RICE
(©Lorenzo Romagnoli) 2005
Danny left home when he was only 17
Took to the bushes, took to the plains
Came to a town
Small and pretty
Slept in the grass, lonesome and free
This is my time
This is my day
Danny found a job as a carpenter
He loved wood, he loved timber
Came to a bar
Drank his dough
Strong as a mountain, so young and free
This is my time
This is my day
Danny met a girl at the county fair
Made her his love, sang her a song
Came to a field
Full of pink flowers
Strolled down with her, so strong and free
This is our time
This is our day
Danny stepped on a bump, his sweetheart behind him
Nothing was visible, nothing could be heard
Came to the clouds
Came to the sky
Wondrous explosion, smell of roast meat
Danny is burnt
Danny is dead
