From: GUEST,Arkansas Red-Ozark Troubadour I'm trying to find the lyrics to the novelty song that has the lines, They laid him in the ground boys, Laid him in the ground, One more there, and one less here, They laid him in the ground. A diver on a diving board, made a great big leap, He didn't know the water there, was only one foot deep. They laid him in the ground, etc. Thanks- |

From: GUEST,999 Subject: Lyr Add: THEY LAID HIM IN THE GROUND (parody) From: Jim Dixon Date: 12 Jan 04 - 11:51 PM The following seems to be based on an old-time or bluegrass song, but I don't have any information about the original. Lyrics transcribed from the sound file at http://www.geocities.com/u2page6/ ################################################ THEY LAID HIM IN THE GROUND (As sung by Homer & Jethro) CHORUS: They laid him in the ground, boys, laid him in the ground. One more there an' one less here. They laid him in the ground. Once I had a Thomas cat. He could warble like Caruso. A neighbor swung a baseball bat. Now Thomas doesn't do so. CHORUS Now Uncle Henry learned to fly a plane up in the air. His parachute was full o' holes, but Henry didn't care. CHORUS A man stood on a divin' board. He made a monstrous leap. He didn't know the water there was only one foot deep. CHORUS Now Mr. Julius Caesar was a great man, we all allow. The greatest man of all his day, but where is Caesar now? CHORUS |
