If I should die (idea) by Jurph

If I should die to-night
And you should come to my cold corpse and say,
Weeping and heartsick o'er my lifeless clay--

If I should die to-night,
And you should come in deepest grief and woe--
And say: "Here's that ten dollars that I owe,"

I might arise in my large white cravat

And say, "What's that?"

If I should die to-night
And you should come to my cold corpse and kneel,
Clasping my bier to show the grief you feel,

I say, if I should die to-night
And you should come to me, and there and then
Just even hint 'bout payin' me that ten,

I might arise the while,

But I'd drop dead again.

--Ben King
