Thread Name: Tune origins: The worms crawl in...
Subject: Lyr Add: HEARSE SONG (...worms crawl in...)
I assume the 'worms' I was referring to is the one we're discussing as the ones coming up don't scan with the one I know

If ever you see a hearse go by,
Remember some day you're gonna die.

Yo-ho, yo-ho, yo-ho, yo-ho,
Where will you be in a hundred years from now.

They wrap you up in a lily-white sheet,
And tuck in the corners nice and neat
etc.

The worms crawl in and the worms crawl out,
They go in thin and they come out stout.

Your teeth fall in and your eyes fall out,
Your brains come trickling down your snout.
