Last night I had a dream, I dreamt I died,
|
The undertaker came for me to carry me all awry
|
I couldn¡¯t afford a coffin, embalming tonight
|
I jumped up off my death bed cos I'm too poor to die
|
|
I'm in trouble and I'll tell you why -
|
I'm just too poor to go and lay down and die
|
I'm in trouble and I'll tell you why -
|
I'm just too poor to go and lay down and die
|
|
I dreamed at the cemetery I couldn¡¯t afford enough
|
To pay them damn grave diggers to cover me over
|
It cost a lot of money cos they was union men
|
I guess before I die I'd better thing again
|
|
I'm in trouble and I'll tell you why -
|
I'm just too poor to go and lay down and die
|
I'm in trouble and I'll tell you why -
|
I'm just too poor to go and lay down and die
|
|
Dreamed I met the devil, he¡¯s waiting at the gates
|
Saying come on in man, you aint a minute late
|
Said he'd lead me to his kingdom lead me by the arm
|
But he wouldn¡¯t move my body unless I greased his palm
|
|
I'm in trouble and I'll tell you why -
|
I'm just too poor to go and lay down and die
|
I'm in trouble and I'll tell you why -
|
I'm just too poor to go and lay down and die
|
