ENOLA GAY (Kate McDonnell) She used to hit me after school some days She weighed 110, me 68 She hit my cousin and called her names Her name was Gay -- Enola Gay My brother gave me for my 12th birthday A crystal dove on a golden chain And she smashed it good, now it's got no legs I burned with tears, but now I'm ok CHORUS Enola Gay, Enola Gay You drop your load and look away And take no prisoners on that cloudless day Enola Gay, Enola Gay What kind of daddy would name his kid that way Who turned a city into a human grave? And drank champagne and eats the victory cake? Imagine a baby buried in all that weight I went back home just the other day Saw my foe, Enola Gay She was a check out clerk at a Safeway A B-29 faded away CHORUS But there is forgiveness and another day For Lord have mercy on Enola Gay
