The Ballad of Forty Dollars - Johnny Cash[00:00:00]

The man who preached the funeral[00:00:04]

Said it really was a simple way to die[00:00:06]

He laid down to rest one afternoon[00:00:11]

And never opened up his eyes[00:00:13]

They hired me and Fred and Joe[00:00:18]

To dig the grave and carry up some chairs[00:00:20]

It took us seven hours[00:00:24]

And I guess we must've drunk a case of beer[00:00:26]

I guess I ought to go and watch them put him down[00:00:32]

But I don't own a suit[00:00:35]

And anyway when they start talkin' about[00:00:39]

The fire in Hell well I get spooked[00:00:41]

So I'll just sit here in my truck[00:00:45]

And act like I don't know him when they pass[00:00:47]

Anyway when they're all through[00:00:52]

I've got to go to work and mow the grass[00:00:54]

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

Ridin' in that big ol' shiny limousine[00:01:02]

Look at all that chrome I do believe[00:01:07]

That that's the sharpest thing I've seen[00:01:10]

That must belong to his great uncle[00:01:13]

Someone said he owned a big ol' farm[00:01:16]

When they get parked I'll mosey down[00:01:20]

And look it over that won't do no harm[00:01:22]

Well that must be the widow in the car[00:01:41]

And would you take a look at that[00:01:44]

That sure is a pretty dress[00:01:48]

You know some women do look good in black[00:01:50]

Well he's not even in the ground[00:01:54]

And they say that his truck is up for sale[00:01:56]

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

But you can't tell too much behind the veil[00:02:03]

Well listen ain't that pretty[00:02:09]

When the bugler plays the Military Taps[00:02:11]

I think that when you's in the war[00:02:15]

They always hide'n play a song like that[00:02:18]

Well here I am and there they go[00:02:22]

And I guess you'd just call it my bad luck[00:02:24]

I hope he rests in peace the trouble is[00:02:28]

The fellow owes me forty bucks[00:02:31]
