Lyrics:
My mama taught me when I was a girl
If a man is a problem take him out of your world
Leave room for the sunshine and no room for clouds
Just pretend he’s no longer around
And say
You ain’t gotta die to be dead to me
You ain’t gotta die to be dead to me
Well, You ain’t gotta be 6 feet deep
Pushing up daisies up through concrete
No, you ain’t gotta die to be dead to me
He was a a Drinkin’ and a hollerin’
And you know how that goes
He was talking to women that mama don’t know
So when they surely asked me, how was your daddy been?
I say who? I have never heard of him.
You know, I think I have heard of that man,
I think, I think I heard he got run over by a train,
Mauled by a bear, maybe, hopefully
You ain’t gotta die to be dead to me
You ain’t gotta die to be dead to me
You ain’t gotta be 6 feet deep
Pushing up daisies up through concrete
No, you ain’t gotta die to be dead to me
So here is your first and your final warning
There won’t be no car wrecks or rat poisoning
So if you cross the line, no, there won’t be no crime
I’ll just say adios, sayonara, well, bye
You ain’t gotta die to be dead to me
You ain’t gotta die to be dead to me
You ain’t gotta be 6 feet deep
Pushing up daisies up through concrete
Mauled by a bear, stung by a bee
Clip your toenails and get gangrene
No, you ain’t Gotta die to be dead to me
