Neil Young - The Ballad of Peggy Grover

Young Pegi just died today
Young Pegi just died today
And I guess nobody even knows the case
But the way the story goes
She just ran out of clothes
No will this world
Just for the peg down
Last words, can't talk
And then she wrote

Some people can't stand no rain
Some people can't stand no rain
When it's cloudy outside
You can't see the sun
But on a bright and sunny day
The people all go away
Except one
Oh, no, don't pity me, babe
I know I'm alright
Oh, yeah, I'm alright

Don't see no tears around me
Don't see no tears around me
I don't take too much stock
In the things people say
I'm not saying that they're wrong
They've just been standing around too long
Gone bad
Oh, no, don't pity me babe
I know I'm alright
Oh, yeah, I'm alright

Can't ride my broom no more
Can't ride my broom no more
'Cause the landlady's taken
To sweeping the floor
I guess I'll go back to my place
And occupy a little space
John Doe
Oh, no, don't pity me babe
I know I'm alright
Oh, yeah, I'm alright

The streets are crammed, can't walk
Might find somebody and talk
I can't find nobody who
Say boo, guess who
'Cause that street is paved with aires
And everybody is putting on theirs
Can't breathe
Oh, no, don't pity me, babe
I know I'm alright
Oh, yeah, I'm alright

He's standing outside my door
He's standing outside my door
But he won't ring the bell
And he's just to scared to knock
And he's puzzled
And he's young
And he's doing what's already been done
One more
Oh, no, don't pity me babe
I know I'm alright
Oh, yeah, I'm alright

Oh, no, don't pity me babe
I know I'm alright
