verse
Pa drove to town yesterday to pick out a grave
AHe found the lot where she'd lay
AThen he drove to old man Ed Sederdoms's place
To find him some peace
He got there round about twelve
DAnd he stayed 'till three
And the sun left him down in the valley
DBut the moon met him up in the hills by the lake
AReflecting the ghost of ma's face
riff 2 A
Suppertime came and went
No one heard from him
ASis' left his food on his plate
DAt the end of the table right next to ma's place
Where nobody sits
Telephone rang about four
DMy sis answered it
And I felt the news through the floorboards
Like a long sufferin' moan
DLike a wreck on the road
Like a joining of hands
Shala la la
G D AShala la la
G D AShalaaa la la
Shala la la
G D AShala la la
G D AShala laaa
riff 3 A
So I drove to town yesterday
To pick out his grave
AI found the lot where they'd lay
DAnd I drove to old man Ed Sederdoms's place
To find me some peace
