Hundred Dollar Funeral chords by Porter Wagoner

H U N D R E D   D O L L A R   F U N E R A L                 CAPO on 1


C
With one nickel in his pocket and a pack of cigarettes.
                       D
There were no tears of sorrow, no tears of regret.
                  C
In a plain wooden casket, the county laid him away.
                      G
Just a hundred dollar funeral with no loved ones to pray.

                G
There must be a mother who loved him somewhere.
                D
Perhaps she has gone on and is waiting up there.
                      C
Where there's no disappointments round Gods great throne.
                  G
No hundred dollar funerals, unloved and unknown.

C
No pretty marble headstone, not one friend came.
                       D
He was lowered by four strangers that didn't know his name
                C
A loser on this earth, a debt so many must pay.
                      G
Just a hundred dollar funeral with no loved ones to pray.


                G
There must be a mother who loved him somewhere.
                D
Perhaps she has gone on and is waiting up there.
                      C
Where there's no disappointments round Gods great throne.
                  G
No hundred dollar funerals, unloved and unknown.
