G                                               C
With one nickel in his pocket and a pack of cigarettes.
                       G                     D
There were no tears of sorrow, no tears of regret.
                  G                            C
In a plain wooden casket, the county laid him away.
                      G       D                     G
Just a hundred dollar funeral with no loved ones to pray.


                C                    G
There must be a mother who loved him somewhere.
                C                         D
Perhaps she has gone on and is waiting up there.
                      G                           C
Where there's no disappointments round Gods great throne.
                  G         D             G
No hundred dollar funerals, unloved and unknown.


G                                          C
No pretty marble headstone, not one friend came.
                       G                              D
He was lowered by four strangers that didn't know his name
                G                          C
A loser on this earth, a debt so many must pay.
                      G       D                     G
Just a hundred dollar funeral with no loved ones to pray.


                C                    G
There must be a mother who loved him somewhere.
                C                         D
Perhaps she has gone on and is waiting up there.
                      G                           C
Where there's no disappointments round Gods great throne.
                  G         D             G
No hundred dollar funerals, unloved and unknown.
