Last night I had a dream I dream I died The undertaker came To carry me for the ride I couldn't afford a coffin Embalmin' kinda high I jumped off my death bed Cause I too poor to die I's in trouble And I'll tell you the reason why I'm just too poor people I'm too poor to go lay down and die I dream at the cemetery I couldn't afford enough To pay the gravediggers To cover me up It cost a lot of money Cause they was union men I guess before I die I better think again I'm in trouble And I'll tell you the reason why I'm just too poor people I'm too poor to go lay down and die Dream I met the devil He is waitin' at the gate Say "come on in Red You ain't a minute late" Said he lead me to his kingdom Lead me by my arm But he wouldn't move my body Less I grease his palm I's in trouble And I'll tell you the reason why I'm just too poor people I'm too poor to go lay down and die
