[Chorus]
G Em C D Robert Enigma Nentwich, unwanted butcher man G Em Raised by his grumpy aunt pushed him hard C D His brother and two sisters, stayed with mom G Em C D Entire life spent, smiling, cutting meat, now dumpster diving
[Verse 1]
G Am Played side trombone in high school life’s joy C Bm Singing In church choir most all his life, his anchor G Em A Handy Andy butcher till death, Raised four boys C D Now old, living on social security, in his double wide
[Verse 2]
G Em Three of them boys doing well C D Forth lost died at 45 to drugs and booze G Em First wife left, second housebound for years C D Declined and died, Roberts now alone barely getting by
[Chorus]
G Em C D Robert Enigma Nentwich, unwanted butcher man G Em Raised by his grumpy aunt pushed him hard C D A brother and two sisters, stayed with mom G Em C D Entire life spent, smiling, cutting meat, now dumpster diving
[Verse 3]
G Em Been helping him lately, giving him lots of rides C D Simple man with a big belly, no teeth, and a bigger heart G Em Foolish with money always needing help C D Several at church quietly help, not much changes
[Verse 4]
G Em Robert ignored my many, friendly to all C D Always greeting everyone young man or woman G Em Unloved much of his life, his boys distant at best C D Robert always joyful and somehow content
[Verse 5]
G Am Hard to write a song about Robert Enigma Nentwich C Bm Not much joy in Roberts life, but Joy in him G Em Maybe we can all learn from the unwanted butcher man C D Anchored to church all his life, he is somehow doing just fine
[Chorus]
G Em C D Robert Enigma Nentwich, unwanted butcher man G Em Raised by his grumpy aunt pushed him hard C D A brother and two sisters, stayed with mom G Em C D Entire life spent, smiling, cutting meat, now dumpster diving
