| | | Artist: | Hall Tom T |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Ballad Of Forty Dollars | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 277 | | | | Lyrics: | 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 'im 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 'im 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
Mmh! 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 | | | |
