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
talking 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 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 had to 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
