Verse 1
C F C
Her passing was quick and quite a surprise
F C G
To everyone under the sun
C F C
As the devil’s a catchy tune in disguise
F G C
The virtue of progress was won
C F C
Enola’s wake left everyone dead
F C G
It’s only a matter of time
C F C
I never believed a word that she said
F G C
I knew that we wouldn’t be fine
C F C
And yet, here I have been called on to speak
F C G
To give such a woman a toast
C F C
The words of my heart bear the truth that I seek
F G C
And I long to speak them the most

So sleep, Enola

Verse 2
C F C
She was a strong bird and, oh, could she fly
F C G
Steady and swift and true
C G C
When she married that Fat Man I turned a blind eye
F G C
I shuddered when she said “I do”
C F C
The light that she brought us was no light at all
F C G
And I say that in full confidence
C F C
Are we to reap what her Little Boy sowed
F G C
When he stole our innocence?
C F C
Her family will live on long after her passing
F C G
They’ll grow bigger and stronger than she
C F C
So pull out your rosaries and lift up your glasses
F G C
And pray hard and sing out with me
Chorus

Sing sleep, Enola

Sleep and don’t ever wake up

Oh...ohohohoh...ohohoh...ohohoh... (2x)

And the death that your life was made of
