There was a funeral last week a procession down the street

People acted like the circus came to town

The choir sang so loud when the casket hit the ground

That the tiny bell that rang was all but drowned

She's buried alive

Buried alive

A little child stood by the grave

And was told that it was brave

It's not right to lose one's mother while so young

The child was wondering still that if mother was so ill

Then who pulled on the string so the bell rung

She's buried alive

Buried alive woo

Come let's go outside and play

Pretend we ran away

I know a secret place

In the garden by the maze

They keep the curtains closed

And we are never told

And no one wants to say

Will they let our mother stay

And the silence of the crowd stood in contrast to the sound

On the last night when dear mother could still cry

There was laughter just before as the child peeked through the door

The shadows of her sickness grew to wild

Now she's buried alive

Buried alive aaaa

Come let's go outside and play

Pretend we ran away

I know a secret place

In the garden by the maze

They keep the curtains closed

And we are never told

And no one wants to say

Will they let our mother stay

Bring me mother

I can't sleep

Child don't weep

Mother's resting

Mother will wake up again

Bring me mother

I can't sleep

Child don't weep

Mother's resting

Mother will wake up again

Come let's go outside and play

Pretend we ran away

I know a secret place

In the garden by the maze

They keep the curtains closed

And we are never told

And no one wants to say

Will they let our mother stay

Will they let our mother stay
