Sam (Lightnin') Hopkins - The Hearse Is Backed Up To The Door lyrics

You know it smokes like lightning Do you know velvet shine like gold? You know it smokes like lightning Do you know velvet shine like gold? You know I went home last night, I found my baby She lying on a cooling board, some joker had k**ed her That's right, see boys, don't get drunk and gamble 'Cause if you do you may lose the best thing you ever had I did gamble sometimes 'cause I know That money I'm gambling at is never gonna be mine, and I Man, you know what I have You know the hearse is backed up to the door Motor runnin' and always ready to go I looked at my little baby She was lying on a cooling board I see it smokes like lightning and Do you know velvet shine like gold? You know the hardest look I ever had in my life When I find my baby she was lying there on a cooling board And I couldn't help but cry and say ‽Go get on, blow that band for me” I'd have thought about When I had to land up in my own I often thought about When I had to land up in my own I say she's a mighty sweet little fella Whoa, good Lord, she dead and gone Let me hear it children, let's go down here one more time Everybody, get ready, have mercy Let's go, give 'em a little more, come on Yes
