The Tiger Lillies - Pall Bearers lyrics
[The Tiger Lillies - Pall Bearers lyrics]
The pall bearers bear the body and
The body it is light
The pall bearers bear the body
It's food for maggots tonight
The pall bearers bear the body and
They bear them with grief
Though each one of them is a
Liar a vagabond and a cheat
The pall bearers bear the body and
It's real tears they cry
Though they're crying for
Themselves because they
Know they too soon will die
The pall bearers bear the body
From the coal black hearse
They know each one of them
Bears the same gypsy curse
The pall bearers bear the body and
They bear them with fear
They wonder if they too will
Be borne themselves this year
The pall bearers bear the body and
They know they too must die
For upon each of them the
Same gypsy curse does lie
The pall bearers bear the body and
The body it is light
There'll be food, there'll be food, there'll
Be food for the maggots, the maggots tonight
The body it is light
The pall bearers bear the body
It's food for maggots tonight
The pall bearers bear the body and
They bear them with grief
Though each one of them is a
Liar a vagabond and a cheat
The pall bearers bear the body and
It's real tears they cry
Though they're crying for
Themselves because they
Know they too soon will die
The pall bearers bear the body
From the coal black hearse
They know each one of them
Bears the same gypsy curse
The pall bearers bear the body and
They bear them with fear
They wonder if they too will
Be borne themselves this year
The pall bearers bear the body and
They know they too must die
For upon each of them the
Same gypsy curse does lie
The pall bearers bear the body and
The body it is light
There'll be food, there'll be food, there'll
Be food for the maggots, the maggots tonight
