charlie waller & randall hylton - ballad of forty dollars كلمات أغنية

[verse 1]
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”

[verse 2]
they hired me and fred and george
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

[verse 3]
i guess i ought to go and watch them put him down
but i don’t own a suit
anyway, when they start to talkin’ about the fire in h_ll
well, i get spooked

[verse 4]
so i’ll just sit here in my truck
and act like i don’t know him when they pass
anyway, when they get through
i’ve got to go to work and mow the grass

[verse 5]
well, here they come
and who’s that ridin’ in that big ol’ shiny limousine?
mm, look at all that chrome
i do believe that’s the sharpest thing i’ve seen
[verse 6]
it must belong to his great_uncle
someone said he owns a big ol’ farm
when they get parked, i’ll mosey down and look it over
that won’t do no harm

[verse 7]
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

[verse 8]
now, he ain’t 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 that veil

[verse 9]
listen, ain’t it pretty when
the bugler plays the military taps?
i reckon when you’s in the war
they always have to play a song like that

[verse 10]
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 fella owes me forty bucks
[outro]
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 fella owes me forty bucks

- charlie waller randall hylton
