Family Funeral Fight Lyrics - Artist : Ray Stevens
Now he was just a little fella
Barely five foot three But he caused a great commotion Down in Ducktown, Tennessee Now it was nothing that the old man did Or one word that he said Fact is, the trouble didn't start 'Til three days after he was dead It was a military funeral With the family gathered round Come to show the old man honor And to ease him in the ground But murmurs spread among the crowd And the mourner's blood ran cold When up pulled the big squad car Marked Tennessee State Patrol It was the old man's youngest son Doing 25 to life For burning down his brother's trailer And running off with his wife The entire family was divided Held together by a shaky truce And then a woman yelled, "I still love you, Earl" And all hell broke lose Brothers, uncles, sisters, cousins Knife and fistfights by the dozens Yellin', spittin', bitin', hittin' What a sight to see At the Ducktown knockdown family funeral fight It started in the afternoon and lasted half the night 10 were stabbed, two were shot, nobody walked or talked quite right After the Ducktown knockdown family funeral fight Well, they called out the county Mounties And more highway patrol And after about an hour or two They finally gained control The sheriff said, "This is a disgrace And I'm haulin' all y'all in But not until we brought this service To a decent end" So the Honor Guard stepped forward Fired their rifles in the air An old lady who was snoozin' Jumped and fell out of her chair And as she hit that Astroturf You won't believe what happened then A boy yelled, "Whoa, they shot grandma" And here we go again Mourners, police, Honor Guard Relatives from near and far Cussin', fussin', bitin', hittin' What a sight to see At the Ducktown knockdown family funeral fight It started in the afternoon and lasted half the night 10 were stabbed, two were shot, nobody walked or talked quite right After the Ducktown knockdown family funeral fight It was the Ducktown knockdown family funeral feud You can't believe the mayhem and the chaos that ensued Why, they even shot the sheriff, punched out the preacher's lights At the Ducktown knockdown family funeral fight The Ducktown knockdown family funeral fight |
