about

This song is about this one time when I went to my boss's, husband's funeral. He died a tragic and unexpected death; no one seemed to be sad though. It was a strange evening.

lyrics

The Funeral
Well I went to the funeral home today.
I shook some hands and gave some hugs away
And I put on my best sad face
(It was a real sad face)

and I sure as thought that widow’d be a balling out her eyes
but she smiled at me and said she’s doing fine.
And that took me by surprise
Seemed like she was glad her husband up and died

I was feeling mighty awkward, so I just bowed my head
Them folks just seemed to happy, like they’s dishonoring the dead.
So I turned tail and fled
I went home instead
My sad face was simply out of place

I was feeling mighty terrible for that stranger in the casket.
I heard that he died in a farming accident
With no son call an heir
Just his daughters with their suitor’s names.

Well I went to the funeral home today. (Yay)
I shook some hands and gave some hugs away.
And I put on my best sad face
And I practiced it for hours in front of the mirror.
I was going for a look that’d be sincere.
(It was a real sad face)
