On the Cooling Board

Undertaker, undertaker, please take it slow

You're takin' the one I love, won't bring her back no

More

Don't a man feel bad, when his baby's on the coolin'

Board

Don't a man feel bad, when the hearse pulls up to his

Door

Undertaker, undertaker, don't drive so fast,

Seem like every minute going to be my last

I tried to help her, people, I did all that I could,

One out of a million who meant me any good

When I walked up to her bedside, her breath was gettin'

Low

She looked at me and said, "Honey, I can't love you no

More"

My heart struck sorrow, my tears falling down,

Watching my baby settled into the ground

Said I walked up to where they're throwing dirt in Ella's

Face

Wanted to jump into her grave and take her place

I realize I won't see my girl again,

Swear to God I loved her, she was my only friend
