There was a man who died
He was living all alone
No one by his side
His wife left long ago
60 years of smoking
The last 10 drowned in pills
What a life the man had
In his house up on the hill
There was a man who died
I never knew him by his name
He never had his friends by
Never talked about his pain
There was a man who died
But he wasn't even ill
He hung himself last Tuesday
In his house up on the hill
