On the day Manuel went and died The men all laughed and the girls did cry Now it's time to lay his soul to rest Do him up in his Sunday best, oh my Manny's dead and didn't leave me none Went off to heaven, left his bed undone Gone away, he didn't leave a cent The dogs are all wonderin' where their daddy went, oh my Don't go leave me here by myself Won't hear me callin' when you've all done left Guess I didn't make it out this time But I'll be waitin' on the other side, bye bye Way down in Manny's bones A dry old river and a dusty soul We'll take him down to the fishin' hole And let the water take him to his home Way down in Manny's bones A dry old river and a dusty soul We'll take him down to the fishin' hole And let the water take him to his home Way down in Manny's bones Way down in Manny's bones
