All Fall Down Lyrics - 9th Ward Pickin' Parlor - Shawn Mullins

The fat lady in red began to sing 

The citizens all stood there staring at their king 

Who cried, The show is finally over! 

Hallelujah, praise the Lamb! 

And he staggered up the stairs and went to bed 

And the queen said, I'll sleep when I'm dead 

Make 'em all fall down 

And the queen 

She leaned over the rook 

And lost her heavy crown 

And the gift horse made of wood 

Won't do you no good 

When they all fall down 

As the court jester waited in the hall 

Next to the chamber guard 

Who stood there ten feet tall 

In a brand new suit of armor 

And an eagle on his chest 

His orders were clearly understood 

Make 'em all fall down 

Then the queen 

She leaned over the rook 

And lost her heavy crown 

And the gift horse made of wood 

Won't do you no good 

When they all fall down 

When they all fall down 

When they all fall down 

Kingdom come and kingdom go 

It don't really matter what you know 

All that really matters is this moment of today 

There ain't nothing left to say 

So make 'em all fall down 

The queen she leaned over the rook 

And lost her heavy crown 

And the gift horse made of wood 

Won't do you no good 

When they all fall down 

When they all fall down 

The queen she leaned over the rook 

And lost her golden crown 

The gift horse made of wood 

Won't do you no good 

When they all fall down 

When they all fall down
