Louisiana Red In Memorian lyrics

Last night I had a dream, I dreamt I died,
The undertaker came for me to carry me all awry
I couldn`t afford a coffin, embalming tonight
I jumped up off my death bed cos I`m too poor to die

I`m in trouble and I`ll tell you why -
I`m just too poor to go and lay down and die
I`m in trouble and I`ll tell you why -
I`m just too poor to go and lay down and die

I dreamed at the cemetery I couldn`t afford enough
To pay them damn grave diggers to cover me over
It cost a lot of money cos they was union men
I guess before I die I`d better thing again

I`m in trouble and I`ll tell you why -
I`m just too poor to go and lay down and die
I`m in trouble and I`ll tell you why -
I`m just too poor to go and lay down and die

Dreamed I met the devil, he`s waiting at the gates
Saying come on in man, you aint a minute late
Said he`d lead me to his kingdom lead me by the arm
But he wouldn`t move my body unless I greased his palm

I`m in trouble and I`ll tell you why -
I`m just too poor to go and lay down and die
I`m in trouble and I`ll tell you why -
I`m just too poor to go and lay down and die
