We sang this version in Queensland in the 1950s :- She sat on a tuffet and played her guitar He sat down beside her and smoked his cigar He told her he loved her but oh how he lied And then they got married but shortly she died He went to the funeral just for the ride He sat on her tombstone and laughed til he cried The tombstone split open and he fell inside He went to Old Nick and sizzled and fried She went to heaven and flip-flop, she flied The moral of the story is - don't tell a lie!
