lyrics

I drive a hearse for a living I do,
hook up both horses to the yew
give my whip a crack bring the bodies on back
to the ground to their home in the earth
All day long I hear mourning and sobs
crying oh why was she unrightfully robbed
from us from our love bring her back from above
take her our of that cold wretched hole in the turf
Day after day this scene takes its toll
weighing down heavy upon my soul
for I know that time that death will be mine
and the hearse drive will look upon those that I know
But I cannot give in to this feeling of dread
I want to know by the time that I’m dead
that I’ve done all I want and I can make my bed
in the ground in my home in the earth
and won’t you plant flowers on top of my grave
and send down a flagon inscribed with my name
and dance round in circles to bid me on my way
to my home far away from this earth
