She Sure Looks Good In Black Lyrics

Folks we are gathered here to day to say goodbye
Amen
We say goodbye to somebody we've all known for a long time
Amen
He's been a wonderful person to meet
Amen
And you see this nice lady right here this beautiful lady right here in the front row right here
Amen
They just split up
Amen
But I know he sees you down here
Amen
He sees you he's lookin down on you and he's smiling
and he's in a better place
Amen Amen Go ahead and start the singin
Amazing Grace how sweet the sound

Tears roll down her face
across the black satin lace,
onto the finest suit
I've ever wore.

all my friends are gathered round
looks like the whole town turned out,
to see her cry
like she's never cried before.
my mama hates her
my daddy blames her,
my sister swears it's all an act.
but if she had wore red
she could have raised the dead,
but my lord that women
sure looks good in black.

she walked in and stole the thunder
from all the pretty flowers,
for a minute I thought
she was coming back.
but she just came to say goodbye
to a cold ol ' love that died,

oh my lord that woman
sure looks good in black.
close enough to reach her
right in front of the preacher,
she showed everybody
how to grieve with class.
as sure as I live and breathe
even this dead man could see,
oh my lord that women
sure looks good in black

she walked in and stole the thunder
from all the pretty flowers,
for a minute I thought
she was coming back.
but she just came to say goodbye
to a cold ol ' love that died,
oh my lord that woman
sure looks good in black.
yes my lord that woman
sure looks good in black.
