Down in the valley where the river flows
There's a man with a long black coat
Rain
that is falling and clouds that char black
On the coffin that tries to float

Children they cry
When they look eye to eye
Stay in your home
When the undertaker roams your town

The Funeral director is a busy man
He must do the job on time
Tape measures, nails and a clawhammer beckon him
To bind the wood that binds

Children they cry
When they look eye to eye
Stay in your home
When the undertaker roams your town

Blind as a bat, chain up the soul
Don't chew the fat, just hide in a hole

Down in the valley where the river flows
There's a man with a long black coat
Rain that is falling and clouds that char black
On the coffin that starts to float

Children
they cry
When they look eye to eye
Stay in your home
When the undertaker roams your town

Blind as a bat, chain up the soul

Don't chew the fat, just hide in a hole
