Old Blue Suit - Ann Mayo Muir/Ed Trickett/Gordon Bok
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
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
Down at the feed store only yesterday
Why everyone was talking about 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
