The old ones take their money to the grave Youth is wasted on the young, I don't think so Don't, don't, don't, don't speak ill of the dead
So many times I thought I'd end it all Take the fall and slip away Some of my friends have done the main I never had that much pain So don't speak ill of the dead
Some of my friends are gone forever Things I wish I could have said As they passed into the night Don't speak ill of the dead
