Since The Last Time |
| I went to a funeral |
| Lord it made me happy |
| Seeing all those people |
| I ain’t seen |
| Since the last time |
| Somebody died |
| Everybody talking |
| They were telling funny stories |
| Saying all those things |
| They ain’t said |
| Since the last time |
| Somebody died |
| But you take a look around you |
| Don’t it seem like something’s missing |
| I said something that weren’t missing |
| Lord the last time |
| Somebody died |
| You took him from the last time |
| To that hallowed ground |
| I’m praying take me to the next time Lord |
| So I can hang around |
| Then the people start to looking |
| And some of them start crying |
| And all the little children |
| Lord they’re scared |
| Because they ain’t never seen |
| A dead man before |
| You took him from the last time |
| To that hallowed ground |
| I’m praying take me to the next time Lord |
| So I can hang around |
| He’s swimming through that Jordan |
| Going to the other side |
| But if it’s all the same to you Lord |
| I think I’ll stay dry |
| Now it’s church on Sunday |
| It’s a bar on Friday night |
| It’s work on Monday |
| The preacher Lord you know he might sing |
| Hallelujah |
| Sing hallelujah |
| Sing hallelujah |
| Sing hallelujah |
| He’s got church on Sunday |
| And he got drunk the night before |
| And he got his good gal when he got home |
| The preacher said he wants some more of that |
| Hallelujah |
| Sing hallelujah |
| Sing hallelujah |
| Sing hallelujah |
| Now if you want to get to heaven |
| Let me tell you what to do You better grease your foot up buddy |
| With that mutton stew |
| And when the devil comes after you |
| With them greasy hands |
| You just slide on over to the promised land |
| Sing hallelujah |
| Sing hallelujah |
| Sing hallelujah |
| Sing hallelujah |
| Now there was two little imps |
| And they was black as tar |
| And they was trying to get to heaven |
| In an electric car |
| And that car wheel slipped |
| On down the hill |
| Instead of going to heaven |
| They went to Jacksonville |
| Sing hallelujah |
| Sing hallelujah |
| Sing hallelujah |
| Sing hallelujah |
| Thank you, you’ve been so nice |
| All my friends they came |
| Now close the lid down tightly |
| And quit crying |
| Because when they close them |
| They all look the same |
| And grab hold of the handle |
| It won’t be too heavy |
| And take me to the graveyard |
| I went to a funeral |
| And Lord it made me happy |
| Seeing all those people |
| I ain’t seen |
| Since the last time |
| Somebody… |
