The Hearse Song
| Tune: | Traditional, sung since at least World War I |
|---|---|
| Category: | Holiday |
| Notes: | A gruesome old song sung by soldiers in World War I and by campers ever since. Best for older Scouts at a Halloween campfire. The words change from camp to camp, so let your Scouts add their own grossest verse. |
AmDon't you ever laugh as a E7hearse goes by
AmFor you may be the E7next to Amdie
AmThey wrap you up in a E7big white sheet
And Ambury you down aE7bout six Amfeet
AmThey put you in a E7big black box
And Amcover you up with E7dirt and Amrocks
AmAll goes well for aE7bout a week
And Amthen your coffin E7begins to Amleak
AmThe worms crawl in, the E7worms crawl out
The Amworms play pinochle E7on your Amsnout
AmThey eat your eyes, they E7eat your nose
They Ameat the jelly beE7tween your Amtoes!
