[Curly]
Poor Ed is dead
Poor Ed Koch is dead
All gather round his coffin now and cry
He had a heart of gold
And he wasn't very old
Oh why did such a feller have to die?

Poor Ed is dead
Poor Ed Koch is dead
He's lookin' oh so peaceful and serene ([Ed] and serene)
He's all laid out to rest
With his hands acrost his chest
His fingernails have never been so clean

[spoken]
Then the preacher'd get up and he'd say
"Folks, we are gathered here to mourn and groan over our brother Ed Koch
Who hung hisself up by a rope in the smokehouse"
And then there'd be weepin' an' wailin' --- from some of those women ---
Then he'd say, "Ed was the most misunderstood man in this territory
People used to think he was a mean ugly fella and called him a dirty skunk
and an ornery pig stealer
[Ed gives him a dirty look]
But

[sung]
The folks that really knowed him
Knowed that beneath them two dirty shirts he always wore
There beat a heart as big as all outdoors ([Ed] as big as all outdoors)
Ed Koch loved his fellow man ([Ed] he loved his fellow man)

[spoken]
He loved the birds of the forest
And the beasts of the fields
He loved the mice and the vermin in the barn
And he treated the rats like equals (which was right)
He loved all the little children
He loved everything and everybody in the world
Only . . . only he never let on
And nobody ever knowed it

[sung]
Poor Ed is dead
Poor Ed Koch is dead
His friends are weepin' wail for miles around ([Ed] miles around)
The daisies in the dell
Will give out a different smell
Because poor Ed is underneath the ground

[Ed]
Poor Ed is dead
A candle lights his head
He's layin' in a coffin made of wood ([Curly] wood)
And folks are feelin' sad
'Cuz they used to treat him bad
And now they know their friend has gone for good ([Curly] good)

[Both]
Poor Ed is dead
A candle lights his head
[Curly]
He's lookin' oh so purty and so nice
He looks like he's asleep
It's a shame that he won't keep
But it's summer and we're runnin' out a' ice

Too bad we did not get a death bed confession.

God Bless you, Ed. I admired you always:-)
