Lyrics:
Papa died smiling
Wide as the ring of a bell
Gone all star white
Small as a wish in a well
And Sodom, south Georgia
Woke like a tree full of bees
Buried in Christmas bows
And a blanket of weeds
Papa died Sunday and I understood
All dead white boys say, "God is good"
White tongues hang out, "God is good"
Papa died while my girl
Lady Edith was born
Both heads fell like
Eyes on a crack in the door
And Sodom, south Georgia
Slept on an acre of bones
Slept through Christmas
Slept like a bucket of snow
Papa died Sunday and I understood
All dead white boys say, "God is good"
White tongues hang out, "God is good"
The woman, Sarah, in this video is my Accounting teacher!
Wow. She's Sam's sister right?
I legitimately just sent this to my sister in hopes that she’d sing with me. She’s shy about it
I just bought 3 of Sam's albums on iTunes. He is a true musical genius. Amazing stuff. This song, upwards over the mountain and the trapeze swinger are my 3 favorites.
to anyone who has lost a father like me this song is pure therapy
Best lyricist of this generation--hands down. Beam paints pictures, man.
I hope you're still doing well, and I absolutely agree
I never liked this song when it was new too much. Just didn't hit home back then. But as i age this feels closer and closer to home. One day ill die smiling. I already know that. Lived well enough in the time ive been given.
i will never forget the first time i heard this song
Cheers from 2022! Still loving Iron and Wine ♥️♥️
I fucking love this version a lot! It amazes me what some people can do with a guitar and there voice.
this is just otherworldly, thank you to sam beam for inspiring singer-songwriters around the world with such lyricism that hasn't been matched in a while.
I've loved this song for years and I always will
my fav song ever..
Absolutely beautiful. What a voice, words and playing. Hauntingly brilliant.
I have to disagree with you here. I'm fairly new to Iron and Wine, but I think her vocals compliment him quite well... she emphasizes the melancholy aspect of his music without making it overly sorrowful.
I don't think she sounds "weak", she's just another layer in the sound - a bit more in the background than Sam, which works for me.
This is my favorite rendition he’s done of this song!
god, I love this song.
one of his best. his sister is as beautiful as this song
Lovely song ..... Cheers Ricky!
i personally like her voice with his, it works for me
11 years later a stranger comments...I wonder if you are still out there? 😀 I think it's his sister, genetic harmony. Beautiful!
awesome footage! thanks for posting
wow, great song!
I love when I go to one of Ricky's song links and it's a song I've already been a huge fan of like this one. Iron and Wine actually played at a small venue in my town recently...it was awesome.
Its very beautiful!
Beautiful.
Thank you Ricky Gervais, for showing me this amazing song! :)
Wow indeed. And I do enjoy your version too! Keep up the good work mate.
Sublime
I know people may disagree with me, but I have to throw it out there... He reminds me of Damien Rice and this song reminds me of Rice and Lisa hannigan... They're both very talented, great folk music :) I would love to see Damien Rice, Ray Lamongagne and Iron & Wine perform together along with Rachael Yamagata.
thanks for the response. i actually know how to play it with strumming. i wanted to pick, and there are slight chord changes and progressions.
can someone please tab this version? its much more fun to play
aww. jesus singing beautiful song.
wow
@mccarrd4 he posted this song on his blog so most of the recent views to this video are his fans.
@Armand666Dead I know that he uses different keys for his songs all the time. But he's not using a capo here and playing normal chords for this song an yet I'm a little off when I play along with this video. And I'm tuned correctly.
He isn't in a 440 if my ears are not mistaken. He's in tune but not in 440. Correct me if I'm wrong. And for all haters. Relax I'm not bitching I was just trying to sing along this version with this video and noticed it.
Am I late to this party?
The essence of the song isn't the chords, those are just put there to add harmony and reflect the mood of the lyrics. so know matter how simple the chords are, as long as they match the tune of the song and the lyrics have meaning it can make for an incredible song. In my opinion
Do we need um?
I want to spend the rest of my natural existence nestled in his beard.
grateful dead very reminicent

@1234doawee
zack galifanakis?
Auntie Nora 'likes this'
he aint too bad at all.
how did he get you here??
@datngatrel
Ok try this: ''get cape wear cape fly- i spy.''
@1234doawee
I love ricky gervais but if I suggest better songs will that make me cooler than him?
Here I go:
Ocean- John Butler Trio
Glasgow kiss- John Petrucci
Goat- Eminem
thumbs up if ricky gervais brought you here!
Alan Moore meets Jack Johnson
@ItsameAlex
I just realised he sent us here coz its an atheist song. Another good atheist song is ''Dear God'' by ''XTC''.
He sent us here because it's a GOOD song. Atheist? I just see it as a touching vignette on death, life and...graveyards.
Stop the violence!!
this version is too fast... for me
Although this is way better than most, of not all pop music out there today, this version (the way he plays this live now) is not nearly as good and touching as the one on Our Endless Numbered Days.
I prefer it, that guitar is mesmerising. It feels much more melodic and rhythmic here I feel. Meh maybe just me
It really does sound fun to play. I wish I could play it :(
Ha.
i want to touch the beard!!
Had a pet magpie called Maggie
i was hoping sarah would redeem herself from her awful pitch problems at bonaroo. I dunno, she's not terribly off but i dont think her weak harmonies compliment sam's pure and raw sound very well. Just a thought.
I know 10 years later you might be dead anyway she sounded really good at bonaroo I was there and she did it amazing and here is nice her harmonies aren't weak she's just doing a compliment to Sam's voice
bähhh
thumbs up if bob sagget brought you here!
he needs to do more jokes like in Between Two Ferns or The Hangover, this song is not nearly as funny as those
THUMBS UP IF SATAN BROUGHT YOU HERE !!
