Ed Harcourt - Undertaker Strut lyrics

Down in the valley where the river flows There's a man with a long black coat Clouds that are black and rain that is falling 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 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 Oh, down in the valley where the river flows There's a man with the long black coat Clouds that char black and rain that will falling 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
