Lyrics

Sugar In My Coffin

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

They're putting water in the whisky just to keep the boys in line

You ain't busting up my place like you did last time

The drinks are getting weaker with every round they serve

The way they keep us sober is getting on my nerves

So when I'm dead and gone, I want some sugar in my coffin

If I goatta go, I want some sugar in my coffin

Oh no there ain't no Elvis Presley from the waist down

Or else I ain't learned nothin' from T.V.

He's shaking like an animal, point that camera where I said

We need this white boy going crazy like a hole in the head

So when I'm dead and gone, I want some sugar in my coffin

If I goatta go, I want some sugar in my coffin

I want sugar in my coffin, I wanna cut the bitter taste

But they hide it in your money and there's cameras everyplace

I been living with it just about as long as I can face

So if I goatta go...

I want some sugar in my coffin

I want some sugar in my coffin

Well I heard about the seance in the Whitehouse yesterday

Has President Lincoln lost his mind?

They caught him in the graveyard diggin' in the mud

That's the father of our nation with a sickness in his blood

So won't you listen to me mister, I want some sugar in my coffin

If I really goatta go, I want some sugar in my coffin

I want sugar in my coffin, I wanna cut the bitter taste

But the President's a liar the country's fallen in disgrace

If they're ever coming clean they ainn't got no time to waste

So if I goatta go...

I want some sugar in my coffin

I want some sugar in my coffin

I want some sugar mister...I want some sugar mister...

I want some sugar in my coffin
