Karaoke Track: Ballad Of Forty Dollars by Tom T. Hall (Chart Buster) - Karaoke Nerds

THE MAN
WHO PREACHED
THE FUNERAL
SAID IT REALLY WAS
A SIMPLE WAY TO DIE

HE LAID DOWN TO REST
ONE AFTERNOON
AND NEVER OPENED UP
HIS EYES

THEY HIRED ME
AND FRED AND JOE
T0 DIG THE GRAVE

f-kND CARRY UP

SOME CHAIRS

IT TOOK US
SEVEN HOURS
AND I GUESS

WE MUST HAVE DRUNK
A CASE OF BEER

I GUESS I OUGHT TO GO
AND WATCH THEM
PUT HIM DOWN
BUT I DON'T OWN A SUIT

AND ANYWAY
WHEN THEY
START TALKIN' ABOUT
THE FIRE IN HELL
WELL I GET SPOOKED

SO I'LL JUST SIT HERE
IN MY TRUCK
AND ACT LIKE

I DON'T KNOW HIM
WHEN THEY PASS

ANYWAY
WHEN THEY'RE
ALL THROUGH
I'VE GOT TO GO TO WORK
AND MOW THE GRASS

WELL HERE THEY COME
AND WHO'S THAT RIDIN'
IN THAT BIG OL' SHINY
LIMOUSINE

Mmm LOOK AT ALL
THAT CHROME
I DO BELIEVE THAT
THATS
THE SHARPEST THING
I'VE SEEN

THAT MUST BELONG
TO HIS GREAT UNCLE
SOMEONE SAID
HE OWNED
A BIG OL' FARM

WHEN THEY GET PARKED
I'LL MOSEY DOWN
AND LOOK IT OVER

THAT WON'T
DO N0 HARM

WELL THAT MUST BE
THE VVIDOW
IN THE CAR
AND WOULD YOU
TAKE A LOOK AT THAT

THAT SURE IS
A PRETTY DRESS
YOU KNOW
SOME WOMEN
DO LOOK GOOD IN BLACK

WELL HE'S NOT EVEN
IN THE GROUND
AND THEY SAY

THAT HIS TRUCK IS UP

FOR SALE

THEY SAY
SHE TOOK IT
PRETTY HARD
BUT YOU CAN'T TELL
TOO MUCH
BEHIND THE VEIL

WELL LISTEN
AIN'T THAT PRETTY
WHEN THE BUGLER

PLAYS
THE MILITARY TAPS

I THINK
THAT WHEN YOU'S
IN THE WAR
THEY ALWAYS HIDE
AND PLAY A SONG
LIKE THAT

WELL HERE I AM
AND THERE THEY GO
AND I GUESS
YOU'D JUST CALL IT
MY BAD LUCK

I HOPE HE RESTS
IN PEACE
THE TROUBLE IS
THE FELLOW OWES ME
FORTY BUCKS
