Pardon this coffin, please step aside
Pardon this coffin, my brother just died
Now don`t you give me no ornary look or I`ll knock you down
I`m taking this coffin, putting it six foot down
I`m telling you, six foot down
He was a champion, he was a chief
`til he lost that good job and went on relief
Then came the downfall of spirit and mind
The devil took to him, and he took to wine
So I`m telling you
Pardon this coffin, please step aside
Pardon this coffin, my brother just died
Now don`t you give me no ornary look or l`ll knock you down
I`m taking this coffin, putting it six foot down
I`m telling you, six foot down
Yeah, not many mourners, but I`m not suprised
Not many mourners, just me and two guys
Where`s all them others that claimed they`s his friend
Not many mourners, it`s a sad way to end
So Pardon this coffin, please step aside
Pardon this coffin, my brother just died
Now don`t you give me no ornary look or I`ll knock you down
I`m taking this coffin, putting it six foot down
I`m telling you, six foot down
