|
I went to a funeral |
|
Lord it made me happy |
|
Seeing all those people |
|
I ain't seen |
|
Since the last time |
|
Somebody died |
|
Everybody talking |
|
They were telling funny stories |
|
Saying all those things |
|
They ain't said |
|
Since the last time |
|
Somebody died |
|
But you take a look around you |
|
Don't it seem like something's missing |
|
I said something that weren't missing |
|
Lord the last time |
|
Somebody died |
|
You took him from the last time |
|
To that hallowed ground |
|
I'm praying take me to the next time lord |
|
So i can hang around |
|
Then the people start to looking |
|
And some of them start crying |
|
And all the little children |
|
Lord they're scared |
|
Because they ain't never seen |
|
A dead man before |
|
You took him from the last time |
|
To that hallowed ground |
|
I'm praying take me to the next time lord |
|
So i can hang around |
|
He's swimming through that jordan |
|
Going to the other side |
|
But if it's all the same to you lord |
|
I think i'll stay dry |
|
Now it's church on sunday |
|
It's a bar on friday night |
|
It's work on monday |
|
The preacher lord you know he might sing |
|
Hallelujah |
|
Sing hallelujah |
|
Sing hallelujah |
|
Sing hallelujah |
|
He's got church on sunday |
|
And he got drunk the night before |
|
And he got his good gal when he got home |
|
The preacher said he wants some more of that |
|
Hallelujah |
|
Sing hallelujah |
|
Sing hallelujah |
|
Sing hallelujah |
|
Now if you want to get to heaven |
|
Let me tell you what to do |
|
You better grease your foot up buddy |
|
With that mutton stew |
|
And when the devil comes after you |
|
With them greasy hands |
|
You just slide on over to the promised land |
|
Sing hallelujah |
|
Sing hallelujah |
|
Sing hallelujah |
|
Sing hallelujah |
|
Now there was two little imps |
|
And they was black as tar |
|
And they was trying to get to heaven |
|
In an electric car |
|
And that car wheel slipped |
|
On down the hill |
|
Instead of going to heaven |
|
They went to jacksonville |
|
Sing hallelujah |
|
Sing hallelujah |
|
Sing hallelujah |
|
Sing hallelujah |
|
Thank you, you've been so nice |
|
All my friends they came |
|
Now close the lid down tightly |
|
And quit crying |
|
Because when they close them |
|
They all look the same |
|
And grab hold of the handle |
|
It won't be too heavy |
|
And take me to the graveyard |
|
I went to a funeral |
|
And lord it made me happy |
|
Seeing all those people |
|
I ain't seen |
|
Since the last time |
|
Somebody... |
