A Man Came By Today

         words and music by Bob MacKenzie
         additional music by Tracie Morgan

A man came by today
to ask about his wife,
or was it just a part of him
or something of his life?

He seemed to think I knew
all the troubles he had seen,
and now, my dear, I'm wondering
whatever did he mean?

Your supper's on the table
and everything's alright,
but tell me, oh my darling,
where were you all last night?

A man came by today
with your name in his eyes;
he said that life was loving her,
and, loving gone, he dies.

How sweet the bitter pills,
how gentle comes the sleep;
I love you, oh I love you,
and cannot bear to weep.

Your supper's on the table
and everything's alright,
but tell me, oh my darling,
where were you all last night?

My darling, oh my darling,
a man came by today.
