Lyrics
I ask myself the question
Why am, I afraid to die.
I don’t know if it’s the worms and things,
That’ll eat up my insides.
Or if it’s the fact I’m in a box
Six feet under ground.
With no one there to keep me warm,
No, no one else around (‘Cause)
(Chorus)
I’m an ignoramus
When it comes to life and death.
I don’t know if I’m blessed,
Enough to go to the best place
After I’m dead
I talk to friends ‘bout heaven and hell
They say I’ve had too much to drink.
I say, “Now by’s I likes’ me beer
But ‘dis is what I t’inks.
Is there something after death,
Something better than here?”
They say heaven’s under a bottle cap
And hell is an empty beer (‘Cause)
(Chorus)
I went down to the preacher man
To see what he had to say.
If he could help me with my problems,
Troubles and dismay.
He said now by’, everything is alright
Everything will be just fine.
So, let’s go nip into the back
And have a drink of wine
(Chorus)
