Paroles de Too Poor to Die
Louisiana Red
Last night I had a dream, I dream I died
The undertaker came, to carry me for the ride
I couldn't afford a coffin, embalmin' kinda high
I jumped off my death bed, 'cause I too poor to die
I's in trouble and I'll tell you the reason why
I'm just too poor people, I'm too poor to go lay down and die
I dream at the cemetery, I couldn't afford enough,
To pay the gravediggers, to cover me up
It cost a lot of money, 'cause they was union men
I guess before I die, I better think again
I'm in trouble and I'll tell you the reason why
I'm just too poor people, I'm too poor to go lay down and die
Dream I met the devil, he is waitin' at the gate
Say, "Come on in Red, you ain't a minute late"
Said he lead me to his kingdom, lead me by my arm
But he wouldn't move my body, less I grease his palm
I's in trouble and I'll tell you the reason why
I'm just too poor people, I'm too poor to go lay down and die
