Lyrics

Fetching Gretchen
your dicky-ticker
has stopped tockin'
fetching gretchen
always smiling;ever gay
fetching gretchen
i could swear
i saw you walkin'
into the misty autumn day
Let us pray...

Fetching Gretchen
when we talked
she always listened
fetching gretchen
she'd never
one bad word to say
fetching gretchen
into the autumn mist
she's walkin'
I'm going to miss her
every day

LET US PRAY.....
