Row Row Row your Casket??

 
Three crazy Carter brothers
Gerald, Joseph and Dave
Three town trouble makers
Called The Highway Gang

A shipment of coffins
came in on the train
They put a plan together
And it was pretty insane

They snuck out one night
Straight down to the tracks
In one of the railroad cars
Was a shipment of caskets

They knocked off the lock
To reveal the treasure
This was the prank to which
All would be measured

They carried the caskets
To the black river bank
Launched them in the water
What a crazy prank!

"Come on quick!  Get inside!"
Gerald said to his brothers
They paddled the canoe caskets
For a few miles down the river


and the Carter brothers sang.....

"Row row row your Caskets
Gently down Grand Bay!
Merrily merrily merrily merrily
Watch us sail away!"
