Accident at a harvest festival

Don’t make me feel bad ‘cause I know
It’s too much to take in one go
But there’s something that you should all know
Now tell all these young folks to go

I gave him my gun just to try
But it went off right in his eye
And his brains hit and bounced off my shed
So it’s safe to assume that he’s dead

Oh, my life is a festival
She’s been so kind to me
And I know ?

Don’t make me feel sad ‘cause I know
?

When I think of the harvests we’ve had
And, praise God, I should be quite glad
On Earth, our blood turns to dirt
Most of his covered my shirt

Oh, my life is a festival
?

Oh, my life is a tapestry
Just plain
? not anything bad in their lives
