I'm still young, but i know my days are numbered 1234567 and so on But a time will come when these numbers have all ended And all i've ever seen will be forgotten Won't you come To my funeral when my days are done Life's not long And so i hope when i am finally dead and gone That you'll gather round when i am lowered into the ground When my coffin is sealed and i'm safely 6 feet under Perhaps my friends will see fit then to judge me Oh when they pause to consider all my blunders I hope they won't be too quick to begrudge me Won't you come To my funeral when my days are done Life's not long And so i hope when i am finally dead and gone That you'll gather round when i am lowered into the ground If i should die before i wake up I pray that the lord my soul will take but My body, my body - that's your job Well i can't be sure where i'm headed after death To heaven, hell, or beyond to that great vast But if i can i would like to meet my maker There's one or two things i'd sure like to ask Won't you come To my funeral when my days are done Life's not long And so i hope when i am finally dead and gone That you'll gather round when i am lowered into the ground
