Over deze songtekst:
De song is van Ann Mayo Muir en staat op haar album So Goes My Heart.
When he was a boy, just sixteen years Bursting at the elbows, wet behind the ears Papa called him in and sat him in a chair Said, "Son, I think it's time you had a suit to wear." It was his old blue suit, the one he used to wear With his pants all shiny and the cuffs worn bare He never had much, but he always bought the best And in his old blue suit, today they're laying him to rest Every Friday evening, driving into town In his '37 Chevy, with the top rolled down Waving at the ladies, he'd give his horn a toot A-sitting there, a-beaming, in his old blue suit It was his old blue suit, the one he used to wear With his pants all shiny and the cuffs worn bare He never had much, but he always bought the best And in his old blue suit, today they're laying him to rest At a wedding or a funeral, a party of a dance You'd better brush you jacket, don't forget to press your pants With polish on his shoes, Vitalis on his hair He always looked his finest every time he'd wear His old blue suit, the one he used to wear With his pants all shiny and the cuffs worn bare He never had much, but he always bought the best And in his old blue suit, today they're laying him to rest Down at the feed store, only yesterday Why, everyone was talking 'bout how he passed away When he meets Peter on the golden stair I guess I don't have to tell you what he'll wear He'll wear his old blue suit, the one he used to wear With his pants all shiny and the cuffs worn bare He never had much, but he always bought the best And in his old blue suit, today they're laying him to rest And in his old blue suit, today they're laying him to rest
