Since The Last Time

Lyrics

I went to a funeral
 Lord it made me happy
 Seeing all those people
 I ain't seen
 Since the last time
 Somebody died
 Everybody talking
 They were telling funny stories
 Saying all those things
 They ain't said
 Since the last time
 Somebody died
 But you take a look around you
 Don't it seem like something's missing
 I said something that weren't missing
 Lord the last time
 Somebody died
 You took him from the last time
 To that hallowed ground
 I'm praying take me to the next time Lord
 So I can hang around
 Then the people start to looking
 And some of them start crying
 And all the little children
 Lord they're scared
 Because they ain't never seen
 A dead man before
 You took him from the last time
 To that hallowed ground
 I'm praying take me to the next time Lord
 So I can hang around
 He's swimming through that Jordan
 Going to the other side
 But if it's all the same to you Lord
 I think I'll stay dry
 Now it's church on Sunday
 It's a bar on Friday night
 It's work on Monday
 The preacher Lord you know he might sing
 Hallelujah
 Sing hallelujah
 Sing hallelujah
 Sing hallelujah
 He's got church on Sunday
 And he got drunk the night before
 And he got his good gal when he got home
 The preacher said he wants some more of that
 Hallelujah
 Sing hallelujah
 Sing hallelujah
 Sing hallelujah
 Now if you want to get to heaven
 Let me tell you what to do
 You better grease your foot up buddy
 With that mutton stew
 And when the devil comes after you
 With them greasy hands
 You just slide on over to the promised land
 Sing hallelujah
 Sing hallelujah
 Sing hallelujah
 Sing hallelujah
 Now there was two little imps
 And they was black as tar
 And they was trying to get to heaven
 In an electric car
 And that car wheel slipped
 On down the hill
 Instead of going to heaven
 They went to Jacksonville
 Sing hallelujah
 Sing hallelujah
 Sing hallelujah
 Sing hallelujah
 Thank you, you've been so nice
 All my friends they came
 Now close the lid down tightly
 And quit crying
 Because when they close them
 They all look the same
 And grab hold of the handle
 It won't be too heavy
 And take me to the graveyard
 I went to a funeral
 And Lord it made me happy
 Seeing all those people
 I ain't seen
 Since the last time
 Somebody...
