Fraggle Rock  Dixie Wailin' Clip & Lyrics « The Challenge » Season 1 Episode 14 1983-04-11 3. Dixie Wailin [02:54] Lyrics Performed by: Boober, Gobo, Red and Junior Gorg (And Mum Gorg) When my time to go is here, Call my friends to gather near. Tell the doctor and the preacher that I'm failing. "Boober, where did you learn a funeral dirge?" -Red "I composed it in honor of my own departure." -Boober "Hey, pick up the tempo, will ya? I like a funeral dirge you can dance to." -Junior Gorg "A funeral dirge?" -Red "You can dance to?" -Gobo "I think we're homeward bound." -Red "All we have to do is.." -Gobo "Pick up the tempo!" -Gobo and Red But forget about your black, 'Cause I'm planning to come back. Play some honky-tonkin' grief and Dixie wailing. Pick me up and lay me down, And spread the news all over town, And tell 'em all to come or they'll be sorry. "Slow down." -Boober Pick me up and shake me twice. I'm coming back from paradise. This poor boy is here to live in glory. "This should be somber and dignified." -Boober When it's time to say good-bye, All my friends will sit and cry, And they'll watch the coffin rockin' round and squirmin'. Then they'll raise a mighty shout, When my bones come marching out. And I praise myself and preach the final sermon. "Wait a minute. You're losing the sad, maudlin quality." -Boober Pick me up and lay me down, And spread the news all over town, And tell them all to come or they'll be sorry. Pick me up and shake me twice, I'm coming back from paradise, This poor boy is here to live in glory. When the Earth begins to quake, From the shaking at my wake, I'll be here and making music like a light wine [could be life line]. 'Till the honky-tonkin' grief, Gives the Angels sweet relief, 'Cause they know that Dixie wail is still surviving. Pick me up and lay me down, And spread the news all over town, And tell them all to come or they'll be sorry. Pick me up and shake me twice, I'm coming back from paradise, This poor boy is here to live in glory. Pick me up and lay me down, And spread the news all over town, And tell them all to come or they'll be sorry. Pick me up and shake me twice, I'm coming back from paradise, This poor boy is here to live in glory. This poor boy is here to live in glory. (c)HENSON ASSOCIATES, INC. 1983.
