[00:00:00] Ballad of Forty Dollars (In the Style of Tom T. Hall) (Instrumental Only) - Singer's Edge Karaoke (卡拉OK)

[00:00:06] The man who preached the funeral

[00:00:08] Said it really was a simple way to die

[00:00:15] He laid down to rest one afternoon

[00:00:17] And never opened up his eyes

[00:00:23] They hired me and fred and joe

[00:00:25] To dig the grave and carry up some chairs

[00:00:31] It took us seven hours

[00:00:33] And i guess we must've drunk a case of beer

[00:00:39] I guess i ought to go and watch them put him down

[00:00:43] But i don't own a suit

[00:00:48] And anyway when they start talkin about

[00:00:50] The fire in hell well i get spooked

[00:00:56] So i'll just sit here in my truck

[00:00:58] And act like i don't know him when they pass

[00:01:05] Anyway when they're all through

[00:01:06] I've got to go to work and mow the grass

[00:01:13] Well here they come and who's that

[00:01:15] Ridin in that big ol shiny limousine

[00:01:21] Look at all that chrome i do believe

[00:01:24] That that's the sharpest thing i've seen

[00:01:29] That must belong to his great uncle

[00:01:32] Someone said he owned a big ol farm

[00:01:38] When they get parked i'll mosey down

[00:01:40] And look it over that won't do no harm

[00:01:46] Well that must be the widow in the car

[00:01:49] And would you take a look at that

[00:01:55] That sure is a pretty dress

[00:01:57] You know some women do look good in black

[00:02:03] Well he's not even in the ground

[00:02:05] And they say that his truck is up for sale

[00:02:11] They say she took it pretty hard

[00:02:13] But you can't tell too much behind the veil

[00:02:20] Well listen ain't that pretty

[00:02:21] When the bugler plays the military taps

[00:02:28] I think that when you's in the war

[00:02:30] They always hide n play a song like that

[00:02:36] Well here i am and there they go

[00:02:38] And i guess you'd just call it my bad luck

[00:02:45] I hope he rests in peace the trouble is

[00:02:47] The fellow owes me forty bucks
