Pardon This Coffin

Pardon this coffin, please step aside



Pardon this coffin, my brother just died



Now don't you give me no ornary look or I'll knock you down



I'm taking this coffin, putting it six foot down



I'm telling you, six foot down



He was a champion, he was a chief



'til he lost that good job and went on relief



Then came the downfall of spirit and mind



The devil took to him, and he took to wine



So I'm telling you



Pardon this coffin, please step aside



Pardon this coffin, my brother just died



Now don't you give me no ornary look or l'll knock you down



I'm taking this coffin, putting it six foot down



I'm telling you, six foot down



Yeah, not many mourners, but I'm not suprised



Not many mourners, just me and two guys



Where's all them others that claimed they's his friend



Not many mourners, it's a sad way to end



So Pardon this coffin, please step aside



Pardon this coffin, my brother just died



Now don't you give me no ornary look or I'll knock you down



I'm taking this coffin, putting it six foot down



I'm telling you, six foot down
