Lyrics:

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
