• Lavender Coffin

I spent my life playing dice and the horses
From Saratoga to Timbuktu
And now that I'm running my last, my honey
would make my wish come true!

All I want is a lavender coffin
White gardenias all around
Swing band playing the funeral march
as they roll me in to the holy ground

All I want is eleven sweet maidens
They're all singing that you gotta be him
Singing around my lavender coffin
Swingin' in the funerals dims

(Saint Peter!) I'm a coming!
(Saint Peter!) Yes I'm a coming today!
(Saint Peter!) Yeah I'm a coming!
So open all the gates on my judgement day!

Hear those angels follow me singing!
Gabriel blowing the funeral sound!
That's all I want is my lavender coffin!
When they lower me into the holy ground!

(Saint Peter!) Well, I'm a coming!
(Saint Peter!) Whooo!
Im a coming!
(Saint Peter!) Hey, Peter! I ain't been bad!
So open the gates on my judgement day!

Yeah!
