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

The man who preached the funeral[00:00:07]

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[00:00:26]

It took us seven hours[00:00:32]

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[00:00:40]

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[00:00:51]

So, I'll just sit here in my truck[00:00:57]

And act like 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[00:01:14]

Ridin' in that big ol' shiny limousine[00:01:15]

Mmh! look at all that chrome, I do believe[00:01:22]

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"[00:01:33]

When they get parked, I'll mosey down[00:01:39]

And look it over, that won't do no harm[00:01:41]

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

And would you take a look at that?[00:01:50]

That sure is a pretty dress[00:01:56]

You know, some women do look good in black[00:01:58]

Well, he's not even in the ground[00:02:04]

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

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

But you can't tell too much behind the veil[00:02:15]

Well, listen ain't that pretty[00:02:21]

When the bugler plays the, 'Military taps'[00:02:22]

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

They always hide 'n' play a song like that[00:02:31]

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

And I guess, you'd just call it my bad luck[00:02:40]

I hope he rests in peace, the trouble is[00:02:46]

The fellow owes me forty bucks[00:02:49]
