Night Funeral in Harlem
Night funeral
Theyll want flowers, too,
In Harlem:
Who preached that
Carried him out for dead
That boy that they was mournin
Charged Five Dollars
In Harlem:
His insura九-九-藏-书-网nce lapsed the other day--
Them two fine cars?
Who was it sent
and the last prayers been said
Them flowers came
And off down Lenox Avenue
Insurance man, h藏书网e did not pay--
and six pallbearers
His girl friend had to pay.
Night funeral
At his corner
in Harlem:
Night funeral
That long black hearse done sped,
from that
99lib•net
poor boys friends--Night funeral
Old preacher man
Was so dear, so dear
In Harlem:
To that girl who paid the preacher man--
It was all their tears that made
Shined j99lib•netust like a tear--
To them folks that brought the flowers,
Where did they get
for his head to lay.
And the lid shut on his head
Night Funeral in Harlem
When they
99lib.netmeet their ends.
Preached that boy away--
Yet they got a satin box
That wreath of flowers?
When it was all over
The street light
Black boy to his grave?
and the organ had done played
