[Verse 1]
G Am G Am
Mother they were lowering slowly into her grave
G Am G Am
And the good priest was speaking on the happiness above
G/D Am G Am
Here below where man was made to work and weep
G Am G Am D
We all must walk through evil lands and bales of suffering
[Verse 2]
G Am G Am
Suddenly a shout blew the ceremony
G Am G Am
The undertaker's man came running and waved a piece of paper:
G/D Am G Am
"Sir this bill, he sought to let the undertaker know
G Am G Am
It's not paid", "well stop the show", his master said
[Chorus]
C Am C Am
The gravediggers raised the corpse and waited patiently at hand
C Am C Am
The priest hissed in some dismay, "Is this quite the time or place?"
