lyrics

Come undertaker
My sweet old friend
Take this empty casket
And bury it again
Row upon row
The bodies rest in shrouds
Until the trumpet's blow
Summons them to the clouds

SO don't search for me in the posies
Or cry by the tombs
No pretty marble bears my name
No love's swollen womb
So follow me to the fair
We'll find a fortune-teller
Lure her down to the lake
And if she comes then we'll drown her

So come undertaker
And measure my bones
Fill a pine box up with sand
Lay me out on the stones
And come when I summon to court
All those ever known me
There I'll ask my mother
Mother, why you ever bore me
