H U N D R E D   D O L L A R   F U N E R A L                 CAPO on 1
GWith one nickel in his pocket and a pack of cigaCrettes.
There were no tears of Gsorrow, no tears of reDgret.
In a plain wooden Gcasket, the county laid him aCway.
Just a hundred dollar Gfuneral Dwith no loved ones to Gpray.
There must be a Cmother who loved him Gsomewhere.
Perhaps she has Cgone on and is waiting up Dthere.
Where there's no disapGpointments round Gods great Cthrone.
No hundred dollar Gfunerals, Dunloved and unGknown.
GNo pretty marble headstone, not one friend Ccame.
He was lowered by four Gstrangers that didn't know his Dname
A loser on this Gearth, a debt so many must Cpay.
Just a hundred dollar Gfuneral Dwith no loved ones to Gpray.
There must be a Cmother who loved him Gsomewhere.
Perhaps she has Cgone on and is waiting up Dthere.
Where there's no disapGpointments round Gods great Cthrone.
No hundred dollar Gfunerals, Dunloved and unGknown.
