The Hearse Song (The Worms Creep In)

I’ve always loved this song since I was little first hearing a version of it in a Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark book. I've wanted to cover it for ages, so I finally got around to it! I ended up rewriting most of the lyrics to make a slightly toned down version that was appealing to both children and adults and less "gross-out". I hope you enjoy this version as well as the original!

Lyrics:
Don’t you ever laugh as a hearse goes by
for you may be the next to die
They wrap you in a cotton sheet
A lacey shroud that falls to your feet
They place you in a lacquered box
Nestled beneath all the dirt and the rocks
All goes well for about a week
And then the casket walls start to leak

The worms creep in the worms creep out
The worms are scurrying all about
They feast on your eyes and then your nose
They feast upon everything down to your toes

Don’t you ever tread upon a grave
Not even to prove that you’re very brave
A spirit’s sleeping just below
And one day you’ll be like them you know
Your body to the earth returns
Your blood dries up and your gasses burn
You fade away to ash and dust
And nothing remains but nails and some rust

The worms creep in the worms creep out
The worms are scurrying all about
They feast on your eyes and then your nose
They feast upon everything down to your toes

‘til nothing’s left but your naked bones
Your casket’s crumbled to dust and stones
You lie at rest in your final bed
Your spirit departs to the land of the dead
You may think your body a grizzly sight
But you don’t need it now so you guess it’s alright

The worms creep in the worms creep out
The worms are scurrying all about
They feast on your eyes and then your nose
They feast upon everything down to your toes
The worms creep in the worms creep out
The worms are scurrying all about
They sing and dance how they love you so
Surrounded by friends ‘til the moment you go

I'm venturing into doing some cover songs now! If you could hear a cover song from me, what would it be?

[ThesKnight]

I love to hear different versions this song because each artist makes it their own.

Harley Poe's for example is a haunting melody that feels almost like Death is taunting the listener with what awaits them.

This one feels like a sweet lullaby Morticia Addams might have sung to Wednesday growing up.

[renamon]

I vaguely remember the melody. My grandma use to sing this a lot. May she rest in peace

[halleyangel]

Being a kid that grew up on a cemetery this song was imbeded in my head. Even before I read the book Scary stories to tell in the dark.

Even now as a adult I can't help but hum it as I pass a cemetery on foot or driving.

[_polarxpress]

I actually heard this song in a book at my school. I always wondered how it was actually sung

[RandomDragonEXE]

Madame, you have such a beautiful lovely voice, this song was made for you. Now we have like 3 versions of The Hearse Song: Rusty Cage, Creature Feature, and now you! And each one is so different but still has something good to offer with their own take on it! I LOVE IT!
EDIT: There's also Harley Poe's version too but my point still stands!

[princessarcheon]

I first encountered this song in Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark! This was great!!

[etherealviolinist]

As a kid, I was terrified of this song. I really love your take on it!

[Talonistrying]

I was once singing Rusty Cage's version of this, and my DAD joined in (slightly different lyrics, but close), and now this song just reminds me of our impromptu macabre duet while my mom stared at us lol. Love this song, great cover!

[hannapope]

This cover makes me think of a mother singing this to her sick daughter so she isnt afraid of death.

[JSSell]

Always love new renditions of this song, everybody's got a unique spin on it. I like your almost lullaby-like take on it!

[AngelTheProxy]

I loved this song as a kid! My grandma gave me the Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark books and always read them to me before bed when I was there

[drewc]

Thank you so much for doing the Hearse Song! The version I heard the most is Rusty Cage's cover of the Hearse Song. Your version is good too. It reminds me of the cemeteries I went to with my friends and family.

[Madame_Spooks]

This is definitely my favorite version of this song

[GumdroptheFurryYT]

I have not read Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, and I have no idea where I heard the song first, but this song is addictive like oh my word

[ladynevermore]

Yes!! I drive a hearse everyday, thank you absolutely beautiful. Well done love Brava

[intrepid]

This is so amazingly grotesque; your cover is giving me chills!

[horrorenthusiast]

I never thought i'd like a song about human decomposition and death so much

[vikingskuld]

Hell yes you nailed that coffin uh I mean song. It was perfect. The most beautiful version i have ever heard. I had to let you know. That was truly a work of art. Thank you you enrich my life.

[dovakiin]

I remember finding this song by accident and now this popped up in my recommended, I'm not disappointed
