Eddie From Ohio - A Very Fine Funeral lyrics

Wednesday morning My aunt sarah died Not many had known her Not many had tried And there at the funeral We all sat and lied And said how much we missed her You wanna know about sarah Where do i begin She had this growth To the left of her chin Let's all be honest she was ugly as sin No one recalled having kissed her But the choir sang And the family wept The preacher preached And the children slept We all wore black And we paid our respects All in all it was a very fine funeral We stood at the grave For a minute or two Straight-faced and solemn Like good mourners do But we all felt relief When we heard uncle lou Stand and say that's enough i'm freezin Sarah was never the neighborly kind Sure she had a mean streak ten miles wide But the truth was she smelled Just like something died Now she's got a reason Chorus
