Long black and shiny as the miles pass on by me
Bringing me where my baby's nest is hanging low
All that I did was wrong
I won that race but I took too long
Hear that funeral bell
Mournful horn is playing low
When I come to the sweet bye and bye
Bury me down with my black shirt and tie
See that my friends sing me a good-bye song
Got the angels by my side
As I go on my last ride
Swing low sweet Cadillac
Blue, blue highway sail along
Sail along, sail along
Now as the sun is sinking
I must surely get to thinking
The last toll bridge soon will be drawin' near
I haven't got the right change
My life I can't rearrange
Ten thousand road signs
Stand for my every tear
Now as the sun is sinking
I must surely get to thinking
The last toll bridge soon will be drawin' near
I haven't got the right change
My life I can't rearrange
Ten thousand road signs
Stand for my every tear
When I come to the sweet bye and bye
Bury me down with my black shirt and tie
See that my friends sing me a good-bye song
Got the angels by my side
As I go on my last ride
Swing low sweet Cadillac
Blue, blue highway sail along
Sail along, sail along
Swing low, sweet Cadillac
Swing low, black Cadillac
Swing low, sweet Cadillac
Swing low, hearse Cadillac
From the rockin' of the cradle
To the rollin' of the hearse
Lord don't you know
My life has been one curse
Take me home Lord
Drive me home Cadillac
Take me home Lord
My sweet Lord
Take me home
Black Cadillac
