[00:00:03] Written by：Tom T. Hall

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:42] But I don't own a suit

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:32] Someone said he owned a big ol' farm

[00:01:38] When they get parked I'll mosey down

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

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

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

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

[00:01:56] You know some women do look good in black

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:21] When the bugler plays the military taps

[00:02:28] I think that when you's in the war

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

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

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

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

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