That sooner or later both you and I

Will travel along in the selfsame hack,

With never a worry about coming back?

They’ll lift you out and they’ll lower you down,

The men with their shovels will stand around;

They’ll throw in some dirt and they’ll throw in some rocks,

And it will fall with a thump on your old pine box.

The worms crawl out and the worms crawl in,

They’ll crawl all over your mouth and chin;

They’ll call in their friends and their friends’ friends, too,
