Jude Wev Loved

Death that took Jude had no ears Had no eyes, had no heart Could not hear a mother’s cry Could not see a sister’s tears Could not feel a father’s pain Death that took Jude had no heart, Was so cold, was so cruel Came around took Jude away Mum in anguish prayed for Jude Sister cried and held his hand Jude was twelve, his heart was strong He had a brain ten times his age Jude smiled here and helped out there His ways did earn him all our loves So earth herself a-weeping went When O some man in silly haste Crushed his bones O tore his skin And there the road was red with blood Now Jude is gone, sweet Jude is gone Gone with his smiles that lit our hearts Jude is gone, sweet Jude is gone Sweet Jude we loved, sweet Jude is gone!
