vanity of vanities - connie converse lyrics

Loading...

when i came home to tombstone
there was a man there
could change copper into gold
with a brown bucket full of cloudy water
and a magic tenpenny nail

this will take a while, says he
put your pennies in the pail
find yourself some scenery

i don’t know just where i went to
and i stayed longer than i meant to
walking in the crystal air
as i dreamed of fortune rare

when i came back to tombstone
there was a man there
could preach sinners into heaven
with a frock coat that had a velvet collar
and a tongue i’d heard once before

never mind your gold, says he
gold is a vanity, barred from eternity
by the needle’s eye, you know
so when i came out of tombstone
i was heaven*bound and mollified to go
