Night funeral
In Harlem:
Where did they get
Them two fine cars?
Insurance man, he did not pay--
His insurance lapsed the other day--
Yet they got a satin box
For his head to lay
Night funeral
In Harlem:
Who was it sent
That wreath of flowers?
Them flowers came
From that poor boy's friends--
They'll want flowers, too
When they meet their ends
Night funeral
In Harlem:
Who preached that
Black boy to his grave?
