Letra de The Ballad of Clarence Heckles

This is the ballad of Clarence Heckles
He was laid to rest one fine day
A rich old man, never harmed nobody
He went to sleep and just slipped away

One august night when the moon grinned evil
Two ol' boys came creepin round
They had themselves a mighty hunger
Like the worms down in the ground

By the morning sun, they'd have them some blood
I'm gonna tell it to you straight
You better live it clean and watch what you eat
Cuz hell is a steep price to pay

On and on by the light of a lantern
Those two ghouls searched for the plot
All Clarence wanted was some peace and quiet
The least they could do was let him rot

By the morning sun, they'd feast on his blood
A man ain't meant for no plate
So just live it clean and watch what you eat
Cuz hell is a steep price to pay
Hel is a steep price to pay

Shovel by shovel down in the earth
Sure as hell they dug ol' Clarence up
But when you got a taste for forbidden fruit
Sooner or later you're gonna lose

By the morning sun, they lost their own blood
Don't mess with another man's grave
You better live it clean and watch what you eat
Cuz hell is a steep price to pay
Hell is a steep price to pay
