  • "Pore Jud Is Daid" is a song written by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II for the musical Oklahoma!. In this scene, Curly McLain, is visiting the threatening farmhand Jud Fry, who lives in an outbuilding that was once a smokehouse. He subtly insults Jud throughout,however Jud doesn't pick up on this. The most notable portion is when he imitates the speech and candor of a chanting preacher, expressing to Jud that even though he was misunderstood and called mean names it was really just a shame because Jud never showed anyone how much he cared. In a plot to try to get rid of Jud, Curly suggests how the community would honor Jud, should he commit suicide, and how his corpse would look clean and respectable while on display (until they run out of ice). He looks like he's asleep, It's a shame that he won't keep- But it's summer and we're running out of ice.
