(... 'less you're prepared to die.”) If you kiss the widow Better do it right The dead gon' see (the dead gon' see) The livin' sin (the livin' sin) If you kiss the widow Better do it right The dead gon' see (the dead gon' see) The livin' sin (the livin' sin) Oh, if you kiss the widow Don't ya spill a thing Remember, someone's always (Always) Next o' kin (Always) Next o' kin *************************** Lyrics by @smokey_the_cat ***************************
