There's a long line of mourners driving down our street Their fancy cars are such a sight to see They're all of your rich friends that you knew in the city And now they finally brought you on to me When you left home you told me someday you'd be returning In a fancy car for all the town to see Now everyone is watching I guess you got your dream You're riding in a long black limousine
The papers told of how you lost your life the party and the fatal crash that night The race upon the highway the curve you didn't see And now you're in that long black limousine [ organ ] Through tear dimmed eyes I watch as you ride by With a chauffer at the wheel dressed up so fine I'll never love another for my heart and all my dreams Are with you in that long black limousine
