 In Harlem:
 * || Night funeral

 Where did they get  Them two fine cars?

 Insurance man, he did not pay--  His insurance lapsed the other day--  Yet they got a satin box  for his head to lay.

 Night funeral  In Harlem:

 Who was it sent  That wreath of flowers?

 Them flowers came  from that poor boy's friends--  They'll want flowers, too,  When they meet their ends. <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 12pt;">Night funeral <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 12pt;"> in Harlem:
