Lyric 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
