Since the Last Time Lyrics

I went to a funeral
Lord it made me happy
Seeing all those people
That I ain't seen
Since the last time
Somebody diedEverybody talking
They were telling funny stories
Saying all those things
That they ain't said
Since the last time
Somebody diedBut you take a look around you
Don't it seem like somethings missing
I said something that weren't missing
Lord the last time
Somebody diedYou took him from the last time
To that hallowed ground
I'm praying take me to the next time Lord
So I can hang aroundThen the people start to looking

And some of them start crying
And all the little children
Lord they're scared
Because they ain't never seen
A dead man beforeYou took him from the last time
To that hallowed ground
I'm praying take me to the next time Lord
So I can hang aroundHe's swimming through that Jordan
Going to the other side
But if it's all the same to You Lord
I think I'll stay dryOh, I think I'll stay dryNow it's a church on Sunday
It's a bar on Friday night
It's a work on Monday
The preacher Lord you know he mightSing hallelujah, hallelujah
Sing hallelujah, hallelujah
Sing hallelujah, hallelujah
Sing hallelujah, hallelujahHe's got church on Sunday
And he got drunk the night before
And he got his good gal when he got home
The preacher said he wants some more of thatHallelujah, hallelujah
Sing hallelujah, hallelujah
Sing hallelujah, hallelujah
Sing hallelujah, hallelujahNow if you want to get to Heaven
Let me tell you what to do
You better grease your foot up buddy
With that old mutton stewAnd when the Devil comes after you
With them greasy hands
You just slide on over to
The Promised LandSing Hallelujah
Sing hallelujah, hallelujah
Sing hallelujah, hallelujah
Sing hallelujah, hallelujahNow there was two little imps
And they was black as tar
And they was trying to get to Heaven
In an electric carAnd that car wheel slipped
On down the hill
Instead of going to Heaven
They went to JacksonvilleSing Hallelujah
Sing hallelujah, hallelujah
Sing hallelujah, hallelujah
Sing hallelujah, hallelujahSing hallelujah, hallelujah
Sing hallelujah, hallelujah
Sing hallelujah, hallelujah
Sing hallelujah, hallelujahHallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujahSing hallelujah, hallelujah
Sing hallelujah, hallelujah
Sing hallelujah, hallelujah
Sing hallelujahThank you, you've been so nice
All my friends they came
Now close the lid down tightly
And quit cryingBecause when they close them
They all look the same
And grab hold of the handle
It won't be too heavy
And take me to the graveyardI went to a funeral
And Lord it made me happy
Seeing all those people
I ain't seen
Since the last time
Somebody
