This is that amazing dixie funeral dirge from the popular childrens show Fraggle rock. I
couldn't find the chords for the song anywhere so I took a stab at it and I think it's alright.
Dm
When my time to go is here,
G
Call my friends to gather near.
Dm A
Tell the doctor and the preacher that I'm failing.
Dm
But forget about your black,
G
'Cause I'm planning to come back.
Bb Dm
Play some honky-tonkin' grief and Dixie wailing.
Chorus:
Bb
Pick me up and lay me down,
Dm
And spread the news all over town,
A Dm
And tell 'em all to come or they'll be sorry.
Bb
Pick me up and shake me twice.
Dm
I'm coming back from paradise.
A Dm
This poor boy is here to live in glory.
When it's time to say good-bye,
All my friends will sit and cry,
And they'll watch the coffin rockin' round and squirmin'.
Then they'll raise a mighty shout,
When my bones come marching out.
And I praise myself and preach the final sermon.
CHORUS
When the Earth begins to quake,
I'll be here and making music like a light wine [could be life line].
'Till the honky-tonkin' grief,
Gives the Angels sweet relief,
'Cause they know that Dixie wail is still surviving.
CHORUS 2x
