Il testo della Louisiana red (in memorian)

Last night i had a dream, i dreamt i died,
The undertaker came for me to carry me all awry
I couldn't afford a coffin, embalming tonight
I jumped up off my death bed cos i'm too poor to die

I'm in trouble and i'll tell you why -
I'm just too poor to go and lay down and die
I'm in trouble and i'll tell you why -
I'm just too poor to go and lay down and die

I dreamed at the cemetery i couldn't afford enough
To pay them damn grave diggers to cover me over
It cost a lot of money cos they was union men
I guess before i die i'd better thing again

I'm in trouble and i'll tell you why -
I'm just too poor to go and lay down and die
I'm in trouble and i'll tell you why -
I'm just too poor to go and lay down and die

Dreamed i met the devil, he's waiting at the gates
Saying come on in man, you aint a minute late
Said he'd lead me to his kingdom lead me by the arm
But he wouldn't move my body unless i greased his palm

I'm in trouble and i'll tell you why -
I'm just too poor to go and lay down and die
I'm in trouble and i'll tell you why -
I'm just too poor to go and lay down and die
