"Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain / So all the boys will know I died standing pat."

I love this song. The first time I remember hearing it, my girlfriend's dad, a veteran of D-Day, was playing it on a big reel-to-reel tape recorder. Eventually the girl and I broke up, but her dad was my friend from then on.
Speaking of standing pat, my family always puts some folding money in the pocket of the deceased, just a little something, as Granny Baker of Kellyville said, to tide them over until they meet up with friends.
