lyrics

Going To Your Funeral in a V8 Ford

I'm gonna buy you a straight life policy, sick and accident, too
Some accident's gonna happen baby, gonna happen to you
And I'm gonna ride to your funeral, mama, in a V8 Ford
Say you think you’re wise, baby, but you just don't know

I’m gonna hire six white horses, to carry you to your grave
I'm gonna be there, too, baby, to throw dirt in your face
And I'm gonna ride to your funeral, baby, in a V8 Ford
Yeah, say you think you’re wise, baby, but you just don't know

I'm gonna hire me a chauffer, cook and a maid, too
Gonna put enough insurance on you, buy a house and lot, too
And I'm gonna ride to your funeral, baby, in a V8 Ford
You say, you think you're wise, baby, but you just don't know

You know, I would buy me a Buick, they’re good on the road
But it's nothin' like ridin' in a V8 Ford
I'm gonna ride to your funeral, baby, in a V8 Ford
Yeah, say you think you're wise, baby, but you just don't know

I'm gonna bump you off, I’ll tell you the reason why
You're worth more to me dead, woman, than you is alive
And I'm gonna ride to your funeral, in a V8 Ford
Yeah, say you think you wise, baby, but you just don't know
You say you think you’re wise, mama, but you just don’t know


Voy a tu funeral en un Ford V8

Voy a comprarte una póliza de vida, salud y accidente, también
Algún accidente va a pasar nena, y te va a pasar a ti
Y voy a ir a tu funeral, cariño, en un Ford V8
Piensas que eres sabia, bebé, pero simplemente no sabes

Voy a contratar seis caballos blancos, para llevarte a tu tumba
Voy a estar allí también, cariño, para arrojar tierra a tu cara
Luego iré a tu funeral, cariño, en un Ford V8
Piensas que eres sabia, bebé, pero simplemente no sabes

Voy a contratarme un chofer, cocinero y una criada, también
Te pondré suficiente seguro para comprarme una casa y solar, también
Voy a ir a tu funeral, cariño, en un Ford V8
Ahora dices que te crees sabia, cariño, pero simplemente no sabes

Sabes que me compraría un Buick, es bueno en el camino
Pero no es nada como ir en un Ford V8
Voy a ir a tu funeral, cariño, en un Ford V8
Piensas que eres sabia, cariño, pero simplemente no sabes

Voy a asesinarte, te digo la razón por la cual
Me vales más muerta, mujer, de lo que valgas viva
Voy a ir a tu funeral, cariño, en un Ford V8
Piensas que eres sabia, bebé, pero simplemente no sabes
