Bob Ryan

Lyrics

Had to smile today
Read the news awhile
Then it faded away
Like watching the darkest night
Surrender all unto that morning light

The hen-house light is on
See the wolf is home
But the hens are gone
I think he's waiting there
To hear his looting ways
Were somehow fair

The rent was called today
But the landlord's
Not that man of clay
He doesn't want what's due
He's looking for all the gold
That we let through
