letra de the tardy hearse - the pine box boys

Loading...

[intro]
there’s a tardy he-rs- with a body in the back
and the mourners are standing in the pouring rain
i’ll make you a bet: five will get you a ten
that boy won’t beat that light on main

[verse 1]
there’s a tardy he-rs- with a body in the back
and the mourners are standing in the pouring rain
i’ll make you a bet: five will get you a ten
that boy won’t beat that light on main
there’s a cranky priest checking his watch
got a couple more to preach today
and the widow in the street, just stamping her feet
shouting things a widow oughtn’t to —
say, i know your folks! your daddy went to school with mine
i seem to recollect he died in ’89
anyway, here it comes! took a right on fifth
running all the signs he should behave
it makes you think he might k!ll more
trying to get that body to the grave

[bridge]
he said he didn’t care, we could bury him up there
in the hills with a shovel and a prayer:
tune up all your rusty strings, let every christian sing
i’m gonna dance when i go to meet my king!
but that brought tears to her eyes, she said it wasn’t civilized
a man should stick around, even when he dies
i’d rather bury you in town and see your body lowered down
with a wooden marker sticking in the ground
(honk honk honk!)

[verse 2]
there’s a tardy he-rs- with a body in the back
and the mourners are shouting and cheering him on
a fellow could make a tidy haul
if that boy don’t make it to the lawn
the man in black must be his boss
i bet that there’ll be h-ll to pay
and the driver in the he-rs- with the body in the back
won’t live to drive another day
he got a body back across the county line
ten minutes flat, i wonder if he’ll beat that time?
get your shovels out, dig another hole
we got another one to plant today
for the driver of the he-rs- with the body in the back
just hit that widow in the way
