Tom Burleigh's Dead
Eddie From Ohio

Tom Burleigh's dead, curiosity killed him

He opened the door, didn't have time to blink

Remember the cat, curiosity killed him

Tom Burleigh's dead but it wasn't the drink


There was a town by the name Harpers Ferry

A small border village, a beautiful sight

One day John Brown and his band of men merry

Came into town and were lookin' to fight


All of the children and townsfolk did scatter

They locked up their doors and hid under their beds

But Tom he looked out to see what was the matter

And for his trouble got shot in the head


Tom Burleigh's dead, curiosity killed him

He opened the door, didn't have time to blink

Remember the cat, curiosity killed him

Tom Burleigh's dead but it wasn't the drink


Now old Tom was a good friend to many

A generous spirit, a man among men

He'd buy the town drinks up until his last penny

So let's drink one to Tom then let's drink him again


Tom Burleigh's dead, curiosity killed him

He opened the door, didn't have time to blink

Remember the cat, curiosity killed him

Tom Burleigh's dead but it wasn't the drink


Tom's wife said, Please, oh my love, don't look out!

He said, Fear not, my dear, I'm just checking

to see what all of this commotion's about.

And he paid dear for his rubbernecking


Now you've all heard of the luck of the Irish

Tom he was Irish but didn't have luck

So let's raise a glass to the luck of the Irish

And to Tom who is dead 'cause he forgot to duck


Tom Burleigh's dead, curiosity killed him

He opened the door, didn't have time to blink

Remember the cat, curiosity killed him

Tom Burleigh's dead but it wasn't the drink
