BALLAD OF FORTY DOLLARS
As recorded by Conway Twitty
(From the 1969 Album DARLING, YOU KNOW I WOULDN'T LIE)
[Intro]
D C D C D
[Verse 1]
D
The man who preached the funeral
G
Said it really was a simple way to die
A7
He laid down to rest one afternoon
D
And never opened up his eyes
[Verse 2]
D
They hired me and Fred and Joe
G
To dig the grave and carry up some chairs
A7
It took us seven hours and
D
I guess we must have drunk a case of beer
[Verse 3]
D
I guess I oughta go and watch 'em
G
Put him down but I don't own the suit
A7
And anyway when they start talkin'
D
'Bout the fire and hell well I get spooked
[Verse 4]
D
So I'll just sit here in my truck
G
And act like I don't know him when they pass
A7
And anyway when they're all through
D
I've got to go to work and mow the grass
[Verse 5]
D
Well, here they come and who's that ridin'
G
In that big ole shiny limousine
