AMERICAN PIE

By Don McLean

'But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
Something touched me deep inside
The day the music died'


"The day" being 3 February 1959, when Buddy Holly died in a plane crash.
