[Verse 1]
[Am]Ten and [C]fifty, a[G]nd fifty is [C]eleven,
Ten is for to send this [B]man to [Em]heaven.
[B]Sing, brother, sing,
And send [C]this man to [B]heaven.
Sing, sister, [Em]sing,
[B]Oh,
[G]Lordy.[Em]
[Am]Loosen up your [C]vo cal cord[G]s,
And sing with [C]all your might.
[G]We must have [B]twenty -five,
[Em]or else [B]we'll sit up all [Em]night.
[B]Sing, brothers, sing.
And [C]send this man to heaven.
[B]Sing, sisters, [Em]sing.[G]
Oh,
Lordy.
Excuse [C]me, brothers.
Excuse me, sisters.
I need [G]some conversin'
with you.
You all know [B]that I'm the [C]mortician.
[Am]and my mission t[G]o take
a gang of dollars [C]from you.
Now [E]about 25 bucks [C]is the sum all told.
He's got to [B]go at sundown, hot or cold.
[Em]Ready [E]or not,
we're going to low him [C]in the ground
[Am]to morrow evening till and
[G]when the sun [C]goes down.
What [Am]can 't you say?
[G]Huh?
What [B]can't you say?
[G]I say tomorrow evening till
and when the sun goes down.
I hate to see that evening sun [C]go down.
I hate to see that evening [G]sun go [C]down, why,
[G]they're taking my man to [Ab]plant him[C] underground.
[Ab]If h[C]e'd [Cm]done[C] me right,
he would be still alive.
If he'd [F]done me right,
[Fm]he w[F]ould be still al[C]ive,
Instead of making [Ab]me pay my
last twenty [C]-five.[G]
Bag[Cm]biter, why [C]did you [Ab]lose your head?
[G]Bagbiter, why were you so misled?
You [C]didn't heed my warning
[Cm]and [C]live the life [Ab]I planned
[G]Now the
Lord only knows where you're gonna land,
land, land
But [C]when you see me leavin',
pin -crepe on [G]your door
[C]Won't be dead, just ain't
comin' back no more
Got my rail[F]road blues, my rail[Fm]road fare
[G]I feel [C]like ridin' into just nowhere
Catchin' [G]me a train 15 [Ab]coaches long
[G]When you look for waters, I'll be [G]gone
[C]Train I ride is marked
Santa
Fe
Count me back down [G]yonder in
Tennessee
[C]To [F]my dear [G]old mama and dad
That's best pals [C]I've ever [G]had
So [Ab]long, cause I'm on [G]my [C]way[Ab]
[C]Why, [Ab]why, why?[C][Ab][C]
