The Ballad Of Forty Dollars
Jennings Waylon Verse 2: (Johnny) I guess I ought to go and watch them put him down but I don't own a suit And anyway when they start talkin' about the fire in hell I get spooked So let's just sit here in the truck and act like we don't know him when they pass Anyway, when they're all through we got to go to work and mow the grass
Verse 3: (Waylon then Johnny) Here they come and who's that riding in that big old shiney limousine Look at all that chrome I do believe that that's the sharpest thing I've seen That must belong to his rich uncle someone said he owned a big old farm When they get parked let's mosey down and look it over that won't do no harm

Verse 5: (Waylon then Johnny) Listen ain't that pretty when a bugler plays a military taps I think when you were in the war they always hide and play a song like that Well here we are and there he goes and I guess that you might call it our bad luck I hope he rests in peace but the trouble is the fellow owes us forty bucks
