Ballad of Forty Dollars (In the Style of Tom T. Hall) (Instrumental Only) - Singer's Edge Karaoke (卡拉OK)[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[00:00:15]
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've drunk a case of beer[00:00:33]
I guess i ought to go and watch them put him down[00:00:40]
But i don't own a suit[00:00:43]
And anyway when they start talkin about[00:00:48]
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[00:01:05]
I've got to go to work and mow the grass[00:01:07]
Well here they come and who's that[00:01:13]
Ridin in that big ol shiny limousine[00:01:15]
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[00:01:30]
Someone said he owned a big ol farm[00:01:32]
When they get parked i'll mosey down[00:01:38]
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[00:01:55]
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[00:02:20]
When the bugler plays the military taps[00:02:21]
I think that when you's in the war[00:02:28]
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[00:02:45]
The fellow owes me forty bucks[00:02:47]
