Porter Wagoner – Hundred Dollar Funeral (Guitar)

G                                               C
With one nickel in his pocket and a pack of cigarettes.

                       G                     D
There were no tears of sorrow, no tears of regret.

                  G                            C
In a plain wooden casket, the county laid him away.

                      G       D                     G
Just a hundred dollar funeral with no loved ones to pray.

                C                    G
There must be a mother who loved him somewhere.

                C                         D
Perhaps she has gone on and is waiting up there.

                      G                           C
Where there's no disappointments round Gods great throne.

                  G         D             G
No hundred dollar funerals, unloved and unknown.

G                                          C
No pretty marble headstone, not one friend came.

                       G                              D
He was lowered by four strangers that didn't know his name

                G                          C
A loser on this earth, a debt so many must pay.

                      G       D                     G
Just a hundred dollar funeral with no loved ones to pray.

                C                    G
There must be a mother who loved him somewhere.

                C                         D
Perhaps she has gone on and is waiting up there.

                      G                           C
Where there's no disappointments round Gods great throne.

                  G         D             G
No hundred dollar funerals, unloved and unknown.
