GUEST,Earth Mother Lyr ADD: The worms crawl in.../Hearse Song (72* d) Lyr Add: HEARSE SONG (...worms crawl in...) 11 Nov 00


What is the name of the tune? (It's the theme from Alfred Hitchcock Presents, but that led to a DEAD end!) A true folk song, I remember the lyrics this way:

Did you ever see a hearse go by,
and think that you were the next to die?
They wrap you up in a clean white sheet
and lower you down about six feet deep,
The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out,
the worms play pinocle on your snout,
They eat your eyes, they eat your nose,
they eat the goo between your toes,
You stomach turns to slimy green,
and pus pours out like pure whipped cream,
You sop it up on a piece of bread,
and that's what you eat when you're dead!

Earth Mother
