Letra Pardon this coffin Roger Miller

Pardon this coffin

Pardon this coffin, please step aside
Pardon this coffin, my brother just died
Now dont you give me no ornary look or Ill knock you down
Im taking this coffin, putting it six foot down
Im 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 Im telling you
Pardon this coffin, please step aside
Pardon this coffin, my brother just died
Now dont you give me no ornary look or lll knock you down
Im taking this coffin, putting it six foot down
Im telling you, six foot down

Yeah, not many mourners, but Im not suprised
Not many mourners, just me and two guys
Wheres all them others that claimed theys his friend
Not many mourners, its a sad way to end

So pardon this coffin, please step aside
Pardon this coffin, my brother just died
Now dont you give me no ornary look or Ill knock you down
Im taking this coffin, putting it six foot down
Im telling you, six foot down
