Resurrection Men

Of Resurrection Men that used to snatch bodies to sell ...

Resurrection men

Resurrection men here tread
Better hide your dead
Wooden shovel in his hand

Iron mortsafes shield their head
Loved ones guard their bed
Daring crooks, alert they stand

Wooden shovel from the shed
Digging to be fed
Body snatching in demand
