oldhippie Upbeat songs about death (56* d) RE: Upbeat songs about death 26 Mar 10


Here are the lyrics I didn't have handy this morning.

"Send Me To Glory in a Glad Bag" - Don & Mim Carlson/Steve Mason

People tell me I ought to save my money
so that I could be layed away in style
In a walnut box with all the fancy trimmin'
Vacuum sealed to keep me fresh awhile
But...

(chorus:)
Send me to glory in a Glad bag
Don't waste a fancy coffin on my bones
Just put me out on the curb next Tuesday
Let the sanitation local bear me home

Sell all my worldly possessions
and buy yourself a case or two of Pabst
Let the empties be my memorial tombstone
Engraven with this epitaph

(chorus)

If I should die upon the eve of Christmas
just place my baggie by the Christmas tree
And when the children; they open all their goodies
The big surprise would be the death of me

(chorus)

But maybe I am not bound for glory
but to that other place I would not choose
and if it seems that I'm headed in that direction
then an oven bag would be the thing to use

(chorus x 2)
