The Pall bearers bear the body and the body it is light
The pall bearers bear the body its food for maggots tonight
The pall bearers bear the body and they bear them with grief
Though each one of them is a liar a vagabond and a cheat
The pall bearers bear the body and its real tears they cry
Though they're crying for themselves because they know they to will die
The pall bearer bear the body from the coal black hearse
They know each one of them bears the same gypsy curse
The pall bearer bears the body and they bear it with fear
They wonder if they to will be borne this year
