[Verse 1]

She refuses to believe I did not mean to break her heart

Still, I am to blame 'cause I know I played the part

The same when she speaks my name, her pressure starts to rise

She cannot control the fire in her eyes

She may not want me dead but I bet on the day I die

[Chorus]

She'll be dancin' on my grave, swingin' to the beat

Sippin' sweet champagne, kickin' up her feet

Folks singin' hallelujah as she goes 'round and 'round

They're gonna hear that music a hundred miles around

There'll be no tears of sorrow streamin' down her face

She'll be dancin' on my grave

[Verse 2]

Well I begged her for forgiveness and I tried hard to repent

But folksmen always brought back every sorry that I said

I paid a heavy price for falling out of love

And I'll never get no rest, that's one thing I'm certain of

They'll lay me in the ground, baby, six feet up above

[Chorus]

She'll be dancin' on my grave, swingin' to the beat

Sippin' sweet champagne, kickin' up her feet

Folks singin' hallelujah as she goes 'round and 'round

They're gonna hear that music a hundred miles around

There'll be no tears of sorrow streamin' down her face

She'll be dancin' on my grave

[Bridge]

That girl'll be dancin' on with a bottle of champagne dancin' on

She'll be dancin' on my grave

That girl'll be dancin' on with a bottle of champagne dancin' on

Yeah, she's gonna be

Dancin' on my grave

She'll be dancin' on my grave

Pushin' down daisies, pushin' down daisies, pushin' down daisies

Healin' slow

Pushin' down daisies, pushin' down daisies, pushin' down daisies

Do-si-do

[Chorus]

She'll be dancin' on my grave, swingin' to the beat

Sippin' sweet champagne, kickin' up her feet

Folks singin' hallelujah as she goes 'round and 'round

They're gonna hear that music a hundred miles around

There'll be no tears of sorrow streamin' down her face

[Outro]

She'll be dancin' on my

Two-steppin' on my

Boot-scootin' on my grave

Yeah, woo
