    Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy,
    She'll beat you if she's able;
    You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet.

    Now it seems to me some fine things
    Have been laid upon your table;
    But you only want the ones that you can't get.

    Shannon

    Another day is at end
    Mama says she's tired again
    No one can even begin to tell her

    I hardly know what to say
    But maybe it's better that way
    If papa were here I'm sure he'd tell her

    Shannon is gone I hope she's drifting out to sea
    She always loved to swim away
    Maybe she'll find an island with a shady tree
    Just like the one in our backyard

    Mama tries hard to pretend
    Things will get better again
    Somehow she's keeping it all inside her

    But finally the tears fill our eyes
    And I know that somewhere tonight
    She knows how much we really miss her

    Shannon is gone I hope she's drifting out to sea
    She always loved to swim away
    Maybe she'll find an island with a shady tree
    Just like the one in our backyard

    Just like the one in our backyard

    "Fire and Rain" was a pretty good "greatest death song," too.
