THE MAN
WHO PREACHED
THE FUNERAL
SAID IT REALLY WAS
A SIMPLE WAY TO DIE
HE LAID DOWN TO REST
ONE AFTERNOON
AND NEVER OPENED UP
HIS EYES
THEY HIRED ME
AND FRED AND JOE
TO DIG THE GRAVE
AND CARRY UP
SOME CHAIRS
IT TOOK US
SEVEN HOURS
AND I GUESS
WE MUST HAVE DRUNK
A CASE OF BEER
I GUESS I OUGHT TO GO
AND WATCH THEM
PUT HIM DOWN
BUT I DON'T OWN A SUIT
AND ANYWAY
WHEN THEY
START TALKIN' ABOUT
THE FIRE IN HELL
WELL I GET SPOOKED
SO I'LL JUST SIT HERE
IN MY TRUCK
AND ACT LIKE
I DON'T KNOW HIM
WHEN THEY PASS
ANYWAY
WHEN THEY'RE
ALL THROUGH
I'VE GOT TO GO TO WORK
AND MOW THE GRASS
WELL HERE THEY COME
AND WHO'S THAT RIDIN'
IN THAT BIG OL' SHINY
LIMOUSINE
Mmm LOOK AT ALL
THAT CHROME
I DO BELIEVE THAT
THAT'S
THE SHARPEST THING
I'VE SEEN
THAT MUST BELONG
TO HIS GREAT UNCLE
SOMEONE SAID
HE OWNED
A BIG OL' FARM
WHEN THEY GET PARKED
I'LL MOSEY DOWN
AND LOOK IT OVER
THAT WON'T
DO NO HARM
WELL THAT MUST BE
THE WIDOW
IN THE CAR
AND WOULD YOU
TAKE A LOOK AT THAT
THAT SURE IS
A PRETTY DRESS
YOU KNOW
SOME WOMEN
DO LOOK GOOD IN BLACK
WELL HE'S NOT EVEN
IN THE GROUND
AND THEY SAY
THAT HIS TRUCK IS UP
FOR SALE
THEY SAY
SHE TOOK IT
PRETTY HARD
BUT YOU CAN'T TELL
TOO MUCH
BEHIND THE VEIL
WELL LISTEN
AIN'T THAT PRETTY
WHEN THE BUGLER
PLAYS
THE MILITARY TAPS
I THINK
THAT WHEN YOU'S
IN THE WAR
THEY ALWAYS HIDE
AND PLAY A SONG
LIKE THAT
WELL HERE I AM
AND THERE THEY GO
AND I GUESS
YOU'D JUST CALL IT
MY BAD LUCK
I HOPE HE RESTS
IN PEACE
THE TROUBLE IS
THE FELLOW OWES ME
FORTY BUCKS
