The Caretaker

Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
I live in the cemetery, ol' caretaker they call me In the wintertime I rake the leaves In the summer I cut the weeds When a funeral comes the people cry and pray They bury their dead then they all go away And here I work and I somehow hide From a world that rushes by outside But each night when I rest my head I'm contented as the peaceful dead But who's gonna cry when old Josh dies? Who's gonna cry when old Josh dies? Once I was a young man dashing with the girls Now no one wants an old man, I lost my handsome curls But I wanna say when my time comes Lay me facing the rising sun Put me in a corner where I buried my pup Tell the preacher to pray then cover me up Don't plant flowers where my head should be Maybe God let some grow for me And all the little children that I loved like my own Will they be sorry that old Josh is gone? But who's gonna cry when old Josh dies? Who's gonna cry when old Josh dies?
