Ballad of Forty Dollars - The Hit Crew (热歌组合)[00:00:00]

The man who preached the funeral[00:00:06]

Said it really was a simple way to die[00:00:08]

He laid down to rest one afternoon[00:00:14]

And never opened up his eyes[00:00:17]

They hired me and Fred and Joe[00:00:23]

To dig the grave and carry up some chairs[00:00:25]

It took us seven hours[00:00:31]

And I guess we must have drunk a case of beer[00:00:33]

I guess I ought to go and watch them put him down[00:00:39]

But I don't own a suit[00:00:43]

And anyway when they start talkin' about[00:00:47]

The fire in hell well I get spooked[00:00:50]

So I'll just sit here in my truck[00:00:56]

And act like I don't know him when they pass[00:00:58]

Anyway when they're all through[00:01:04]

I've got to go to work and mow the grass[00:01:06]

Well here they come and who's that[00:01:13]

Ridin' in that big ol' shiny limousine[00:01:14]

Mmh look at all that chrome I do believe[00:01:21]

That that's the sharpest thing I've seen[00:01:24]

That must belong to his great uncle[00:01:29]

Someone said "He owned a big ol' farm"[00:01:31]

When they get parked I'll mosey down[00:01:37]

And look it over that won't do no harm[00:01:40]

Well that must be the widow in the car[00:01:46]

And would you take a look at that [00:01:49]

That sure is a pretty dress[00:01:54]

You know some women do look good in black[00:01:57]

Well he's not even in the ground[00:02:03]

And they say that his truck is up for sale[00:02:05]

They say she took it pretty hard[00:02:11]

But you can't tell too much behind the veil[00:02:13]

Well listen ain't that pretty[00:02:19]

When the bugler plays the 'Military taps'[00:02:21]

I think that when you's in the war[00:02:27]

They always hide 'n' play a song like that[00:02:30]

Well here I am and there they go[00:02:36]

And I guess you'd just call it my bad luck[00:02:38]

I hope he rests in peace the trouble is[00:02:44]

The fellow owes me forty bucks[00:02:47]
