I went to a funeral
\nLord it made me happy
\nSeeing all those people
\nI ain’t seen
\nSince the last time
\nSomebody died<\/p>\n
Everybody talking
\nThey were telling funny stories
\nSaying all those things
\nThey ain’t said
\nSince the last time
\nSomebody died<\/p>\n
But you take a look around you
\nDon’t it seem like something’s missing
\nI said something that weren’t missing
\nLord the last time
\nSomebody died<\/p>\n
You took him from the last time
\nTo that hallowed ground
\nI’m praying take me to the next time Lord
\nSo I can hang around<\/p>\n
Then the people start to looking
\nAnd some of them start crying
\nAnd all the little children
\nLord they’re scared
\nBecause they ain’t never seen
\nA dead man before<\/p>\n
You took him from the last time
\nTo that hallowed ground
\nI’m praying take me to the next time Lord
\nSo I can hang around<\/p>\n
He’s swimming through that Jordan
\nGoing to the other side
\nBut if it’s all the same to you Lord
\nI think I’ll stay dry<\/p>\n
Now it’s church on Sunday
\nIt’s a bar on Friday night
\nIt’s work on Monday
\nThe preacher Lord you know he might sing<\/p>\n
Hallelujah
\nSing hallelujah
\nSing hallelujah
\nSing hallelujah<\/p>\n
He’s got church on Sunday
\nAnd he got drunk the night before
\nAnd he got his good gal when he got home
\nThe preacher said he wants some more of that<\/p>\n
Hallelujah
\nSing hallelujah
\nSing hallelujah
\nSing hallelujah<\/p>\n
Now if you want to get to heaven
\nLet me tell you what to do
\nYou better grease your foot up buddy
\nWith that mutton stew
\nAnd when the devil comes after you
\nWith them greasy hands
\nYou just slide on over to the promised land<\/p>\n
Sing hallelujah
\nSing hallelujah
\nSing hallelujah
\nSing hallelujah<\/p>\n
Now there was two little imps
\nAnd they was black as tar
\nAnd they was trying to get to heaven
\nIn an electric car
\nAnd that car wheel slipped
\nOn down the hill
\nInstead of going to heaven
\nThey went to Jacksonville<\/p>\n
Sing hallelujah
\nSing hallelujah
\nSing hallelujah
\nSing hallelujah<\/p>\n
Thank you, you’ve been so nice
\nAll my friends they came
\nNow close the lid down tightly
\nAnd quit crying
\nBecause when they close them
\nThey all look the same<\/p>\n
And grab hold of the handle
\nIt won’t be too heavy
\nAnd take me to the graveyard<\/p>\n
I went to a funeral
\nAnd Lord it made me happy
\nSeeing all those people
\nI ain’t seen
\nSince the last time
\nSomebody…<\/p>\n
