Undertaker Strut

Down in the valley where the river flows There´s a man with a long black coat Rain that is falling and clouds that are 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 Oh, down in the valley where the river flows There´s a man with a long black coat Rain that is falling and the 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 --- Undertaker Strut - Ed Harcourt
