Lyrics of
Ballad Of Forty Dollars

The man who preached the funeral said it really was a simple way to die
He laid down to rest one afternoon and never opened up his eyes
They hired me and Fred and Joe to dig the grave and carry up some chairs
It took us seven hours and I guess we must have drunk a case of beer
I guess I ought to go and watch them put 'im down but I don't own a suit
