Just wondering how many songs about pro-cars do you know? My all time favorite is Long Black Limousine, whitch is acctually about a hearse. I beleave it was first done by Elvis, its also ben done by Merle Haggerd, Gram Parsons, and Glen Campbell. My favorite version is by Bobby Bare. So, what other ones do you know?

Here is one for you. Horny in a hearse by the rockabilly band Nekromantix. Dont worry, despite using the title in the lyrics I feel its a clean song. The video is a cartoon but they did their homework when they drew the 59 Superior Crown Royale.

"Daddy Never Was the Cadillac Kind" by Confederate Railroad. Also about a hearse. 1994. Apparently, the video was done completely in black and white. I was a big country fan back then, but rarely watched videos.

The first two songs I thought of have been posted. Hearse Driver and Horny in a Hearse. I found a couple to add.

How about a song that mentions a hearse?

The first verse of "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" goes like this:

I was standing by my window
On one cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rolling
For to carry my mother away

I like this version by Cash, Lewis, and Perkins:

We had someone sing that here at the FH once and they changed that line to , Oh undertaker, please drive that Cadillac of yours slow. :applause:
 
I don't know if these are on youtube, but I found them on itunes when I was getting some songs together for Jeremy's 30th birthday party.

Hearse Drivin' Man - Memphis Morticians
Big Caddy Hearse - Herb Gross and the Invictas

They are pretty catchy. Also, "Believe" - Brooks & Dunn, "You can't tell me it all ends in a slow ride in a hearse." That's my favorite. I want it played at my funeral. And please, somebody, anybody don't let Jeremy play Radar Love! :D Well, maybe burn it on a CD for everybody to play in the procession!
 
I thought of another one-

In the John Denver song "Thank God I'm a Country Boy," he says

"City folks drivin' in a black limousine (sounds like limozeeeen)
A lotta' sad people thinkin' "That's somebody keen"
Son, let me tell ya now exactly what I mean,
I thank God I'm a country boy!"
 
A song about a hearse.

Here is a song written and sung by Neil Young, Long May You Run. Supposedly Neil wrote this song about his hearse that he had in his early days went he first started out. But the word hearse isn't in the song anywhere.

Long May You Run
By, Neil Young.

We’ve been through some things together
With trunks of memories still to come
We found things to do in stormy weather
Long may you run.

Long may you run.
Long may you run.
Although these changes have come
With your chrome heart shining in the sun
Long may you run.

Well, it was back in Blind Rriver in 1962
When I last saw you alive
But we missed that shift on the long decline
Long may you run.

Long may you run.
Long may you run.
Although these changes have come
With your chrome heart shining in the sun
Long may you run.

Maybe the Beach Boys have got you now
With those waves singing Caroline
Rollin’ down that empty ocean road
Gettin’ to the surf on time.

Long may you run.
Long may you run.
Although these changes have come
With your chrome heart shining in the sun
Long may you run.
