Stroll along on the Stoneymullen
in the beautiful broad daylight
Hand in Hand in Love with your Life
hold it wide before it gets narrow
into the Dark Dreaded Dead of Night
and your calling on the Coffin Road

No matter how or if you don't pray
Take your time and try the wrong way
Up the Ritchie Hill Tank on a walk
Relax along the River listen don't talk
Boogie in Boll o Meal, let it all hang out, why not
Before you end up on that Coffin Road

OD into the centrifugal on the Witches Hat
Its your Turn now Turn Turn Turn Sway
Then up the South face of the Dumpling
Crampons on Darling the hard way
Before Gravity appears with the final score
Your number held aloft floating on coffin road

Make sure to make love in the Haldane
Down the Dookie at least once ken
Then nude softball with a good friend
and a Butchers Card Board Box Bat
Till your Teas Out and its time to Go
Catch you again beyond the Coffin Road

Build a Fort for the Cavalry
at the Craggs on the Carman
Build a Dam for an Indian summer swim
High up in the Christy Park Burn
The Clock is running Go Buddy Go
You don't want to wake up on the Coffin Road

Due south on a heathen shortcut from Luss
Or via Jerusalems Gate from Damascus
We all end up knockin on that door
Then carried across the way to Cardross
By the chanting men with the local shoulder
On that Coffin Road, you may not remember!

Get laid in a Layby near Luss
Be outside yourself
Try it with someone else, you might know
Before you end up on the Coffin Road
