What about "Blood on the saddle"? There was blood on the saddle, blood on the ground And a great big pool of blood of around And the cowboy lay in it all covered in gore And he ain't gonna ride them broncos no more Oh pity the cowboy, all bloody and red Cos a bronco fell on him and mashed in his head There was blood on the saddle and blood on the ground And a great big pool of blood all around I love it. Another favourite is "As you see the hearse go by" As you see the hearse go by Think you may be the next to die They put you in a wooden box And cover you with a heap of rocks All goes well for about a week Then your coffin begins to leak The worms go in, the worms go out They go in thin and they come out stout Pus oozes out like thick rich cream Your liver turns a ghastly green Your eyes fall in and your teeth fall out Your brains come trickling down your snout (sniff) The moral of this story needs no explanation It's really much better to have a cremation Then of course there's the song "Someone tied a love-knot in the parachutists chord" with the lovely line "They scraped him off the tarmac like a blob of strawberry jam"
