Ballad Of Forty Dollars - Tom T. Hall[00:00:00]

Written by：Tom T. Hall[00:00:03]

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

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

He lay down to rest one afternoon[00:00:15]

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

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

The grave and carry up some chairs[00:00:26]

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

I guess we must've drunk a case of beer[00:00:33]

I guess I oughta go and watch them[00:00:40]

Put him down but I don't own a suit[00:00:42]

And anyway when they start talkin' about[00:00:48]

The fire in Hell well I get spooked[00:00:51]

So I'll just sit here in my truck and act like[00:00:57]

I don't know him when they pass[00:00:59]

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 ole shiny limousine[00:01:15]

Hmm look at all that chrome[00:01:22]

I do believe that that's the sharpest thing[00:01:23]

I've seen[00:01:26]

That must belong to his great[00:01:30]

Uncle someone said[00:01:32]

He owned a big ole farm[00:01:33]

When they get parked[00:01:38]

I'll mosey down and look it over that[00:01:39]

Won't do no harm[00:01:42]

Well that must be the widow in the car[00:01:47]

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

That sure is a pretty dress you know[00:01:55]

Some women do look good in black[00:01:58]

But he's not even in the ground and[00:02:04]

They say that his truck is up for sale[00:02:06]

They say she took it pretty hard but[00:02:12]

You can't tell too much behind a veil[00:02:14]

Well listen ain't that pretty when[00:02:20]

The bugler plays the military taps[00:02:22]

I think that when you's in the war they[00:02:29]

Always have to play a song like that[00:02:31]

Well here I am and there they go and[00:02:37]

I guess you'd just call it my bad luck[00:02:39]

I hope he'll rest in peace but trouble[00:02:46]

Is that fellow owes me forty bucks[00:02:48]
