The Funeral - McCarthy
Mother they were lowering slowly into her grave
And the good priest
Was speaking on the happiness above
Here below where man was
Made to work and weep (work and weep)
We all must walk through evil lands
And bales of suffering
Suddenly a shout blew the ceremony
The undertaker's man came running
And waved a piece of paper
"Sir this bill " he sought to let the undertaker know
"it's not paid"
"Well stop the show " his master said
The gravediggers raised the corpse
And waited patiently at hand
The priest hissed in some dismay
"Is this quite the time or place "
Venomously father said
"We'll have the money Tuesday"
The undertaker had to laugh
Well Tuesday she'll be buried
"Charity " wept the priest in utter disbelief
"Father Angerblow
The undertaker said
This misses business man
And that coffin is worth a lot
Open it up right away boys
There are others who can pay
Here below where man was made to work
And weep (work and weep)
We all must go through evil
Lands and bales of suffering
