(clarence toussaint, allen julian orange)



There'll be some slow walkin'

Gonna be some sad talkin'

There'll be some flowers bringin'

Gonna be some sad singin'

Over you, i say over you

Over you, pretty baby

If i ever hear you say we're through



There'll be some long black limousines

People peepin' from their window screens

Parade of cars with their headlights on

All of that will be goin' on

Over you, i said over you

Over you, pretty baby

If i ever hear you say we're through



There'll be a hole about six feet deep

For you baby to take your sleep

Into a pine box an' down you'll go

Where you will stay where it's free of snow

Over you, i said over you

Over you, pretty baby

If i ever hear you say we're through



All your folks will be dressed in black

Ride a long black cadillac

Yeah, baby they'll be puttin' you away

The funeral home'll have the business that day

Over you, i said over you

Over you, pretty baby

If i ever hear you say we're through



Say i want to slay you baby, whoa now

Over you, pretty baby

If i ever hear you say we're through



Say you'll never leave me

I say you'll never leave me

Say i'm gonna get rid of you , baby

If i ever hear you say we're through



Whoa, i love you

No tellin' what i'd do

That's why baby

I want to do all these things to you
