[Verse 1]
There'll be some slow walkin'
Gonna be some sad talkin'
There'll be some flower-bringin'
Gonna be some sad singin'
[Chorus]
Over you
I said over you
Over you, pretty baby
If I ever hear you say we're through
[Verse 2]
There'll be some long, black limousines
People peepin' from their window screens
Parade of cars with the headlights on
All of that will be goin' on
[Chorus]
Over you
I said over you
Over you, pretty baby
If I ever hear you say we'rе through
[Verse 3]
There'll be a holе about six feet deep
For you, my baby, to take your sleep
Into a pine box down you go
Where you will stay rain, sleet or snow
[Chorus]
Over you
I said over you
Over you, pretty baby
If I ever hear you say we're through
[Verse 4]
All your folks will be dressed in black
Ride a long, black Cadillac
Yes, baby, they'll be puttin' you away
The funeral home will have your business that day
[Chorus]
Over you
I said over you
Over you, pretty baby
If I ever hear you say we're through
[Bridge]
I'm gonna slay you, baby
Woah, now
Over you, pretty baby
If I ever hear you say we're through
[Outro]
Say you'll never leave me
I said you'll never leave me
I'm gonna get rid of ya, baby
If I ever hear you say we're through
Oh, I love ya
Tell the world I do
That's why, baby
I'm gonna do this thing to you
