Lavender Coffin Songtext
von Lionel Hampton

Lavender Coffin Songtext

I spent my life playing dice and the horses
From Saratoga to Timbuktu
And now that I′m running my last mile honey
Please make my wish come true

All I want is a lavender coffin
White Cardenas all around
Swing bands playing a funeral march
As they roll me into the holy ground


All I want is eleven sweet maidens
They're all singing that you′ve got to be hip
Singing around my lavender coffin
A-swinging on the funeral steps

(Saint Peter) I'm a-comin'
(Saint Peter) yes, I′m a-comin′ today
(Saint Peter) yeah, I'm a comin′
So open up those gates on my judgement day

Hear those angels solemnly singing
Gabriel blowing the funeral sound
That's all I want, is my lavender coffin
When they lower me into the holy ground


(Saint Peter) I′m a-comin'
(Saint Peter) yeah, I′m a-comin'
(Saint Peter) Hey, Peter, I ain't been bad
So open up the gates on my judgement day
