I went to a funeral
Lord, it made me happy
Seeing all those people that I ain't seen
Since the last time somebody died

Everybody talking
They were telling funny stories
Saying all those things that they ain't said
Since the last time somebody died

But you take a look around you
Don't it seem like something's missing?
I said something that went missing
Lord, the last time somebody died

You took him from the last time
To that hallowed ground
I'm praying take me to the next time, Lord
So I can hang around

Then the people start to looking
And some of them start crying
And all the little children, Lord, they're scared
'Cause they ain't never seen a dead man before

You took him from the last time
To that hallowed ground
I'm praying take me to the next time, Lord
So I can hang around
