gravedigger jones & coffin ed’s funeral lyrics
[interlude]
[kid] we, the members of the black culture society do hereby establish the jones and johnson memorial scholarship in criminology, to be given annually to a deserving young brother or sister in the community. i’d like to add my personal condolences. it’s a great loss for us all
[joe painter] i wanted to pay my respects. thought there might be a provision for a first class funeral, with flowers and singing, coffins
[captain] it was impossible, mr. painter, to obtain any remains whatsoever
[joe painter] seems a shamе, and a disappointment for all their friends
[captain] i assurе you this memorial is in keeping with proper police procedure. detectives jones and johnson died honorably
[joe painter] really? i had the impression that those two were sort of under a cloud
[captain] the charges against them were dismissed
[joe painter] you know, i can’t see how it happened. those two were always so careful, they never took no chances
[officer] they, they didn’t have a choice. i, i sent… ~cries~
[joe painter] ain’t that something, the way they was loved? all races, all colors
[captain] excuse me
[joe painter] captain, tell you what i’m gonna do: i’d like to see that our fallen brothers get a fitting memorial
[captain] don’t bother, we take care of our own
[joe painter] ease up, captain, five thousand dollars oughta do ’em real proud. you know, you can always count on me as a member of the community to help out the forces of the beloved. after all, we both don’t want no trouble
[junkie] coming for to carry me home. gravedigger and coffin ed, they was mens but now they’s dead. swing low, sweet chariot, coming for and carry them home. swing low
