Lyrics:

Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey

Let me tell you of a story

'Bout a creature I once knew

Had a wife that was a teacher

And the daughter was it too

He was loved among his neighbors

For the wonders works he's done

For the building of the new church

And the work for rodness funds

But things change and times got rough

And his wife is acting strange

And the friends Tom once knew so well

Just don't seems the same

Now Tom drunk

But Tom's no fool

Just keep it cool, Tom

And stick to the root

Tom drunk

But Tom's no fool

Just keep it cool, Tom

And stick to the root

Now instead of getting better

Things started to get worse

When they dropped off from the ministry

And burnt down Tom's new church

After all the things that Tom had done

It seems like no one care

Now Tom is sitting all alone

Shedding lonely tears

Tom drunk

But Tom's no fool

Just keep it cool, Tom

And stick to the root

Tom drunk

But Tom's no fool

Just keep it cool, Tom

And stick to the root

Oh, oh, no, yeah

Tom drunk

But Tom's no fool

Just keep it cool, Tom

And stick to the root

Tom drunk

But Tom's no fool

Just keep it cool, Tom

And stick to the root

To much stress, can't bare the pressure

So he sips the Devil's water

Reach at home, he rapes his wife

Then he turns and beats his daughter

Can't believe [Incomprehensible]

Then he slowly caught the hammer

Put the fist into his hand

Then he bowed and said the prayer

Oh, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom

Tom is gone, Tom is gone

Oh, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom, Tom

Tom is gone Tom is gone

Tom drunk

And played a fool

And lost his crew now

His soul is in the deepest blue

Tom drunk

And played a fool

And lost his crew now

His soul is in the deepest blue

Tom drunk

Played a fool

Tom is drunk now

Tom drunk

And played the fool

And lost his crew now

He lost his crew now

Tom drunk

And played the fool

And lost his crew now

His soul is in the deepest blue

Tom drunk

And played the fool

And lost his crew now

His soul is in the deepest blue, yeah, yeah
