The Hearse Song (The Worms Crawl In) is an old children’s song dating back to before World War I. We first heard this song from our mom singing little bits and pieces that she remembered from her childhood. This piqued our interest and we started talking to relatives and doing research on the full lyrics and song origin. Interestingly, we found that there are no “set” lyrics, but only reoccurring words and themes. When telling our grandma about our newest arrangement, we were surprised to learn that she, too, learned a version of The Hearse Song when she was a child, which would have been over 80 years ago! In a way, this song is like “the telephone game” as over time children have changed and altered the lyrics so no version is the same. In fact, most people seem to have only learned one verse. We had so much fun picking our favorite lyrics… and even adding our own lyrics! We composed our own original musical intro, outro, and interlude and arrangement of the main melody to create a full and complex song for our harps and voices. We absolutely love how our arrangement and compositional additions turned out and we love performing this song at our live shows! This video was filmed by our mom on our phone. Everything you hear in our arrangement is exactly how we perform it live with our 2 harps and voices: no backing tracks, loops, or harp overlays. Please let us know if you enjoyed “The Hearse Song (The Worms Crawl In)” by liking the video, favoriting, leaving a comment, and sharing it with your friends. We will continue to go where no harps have gone before! Please subscribe and stay tuned for more of our radical Duet Harp Revolution!

*Our lyrics for "The Hearse Song (The Worms Crawl In)":*
Don't ever laugh as a hearse goes by
For you may be the next to die
They wrap you up in a big white sheet
From your head down to your feet
They put you in a big black box
And cover you up with dirt and rocks
And all goes well for about a week
And then your coffin begins to leak
And the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out
The worms play pinochle on your snout
They eat your eyes, they eat your nose
They eat the jelly between your toes
There is something soft and green
Puss comes out like whipping cream
You spread it on a slice of bread
And that’s what you eat when you're dead
Your chest caves in, your eyes pop out
Your brain turns to sauerkraut
And the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out
The worms crawl over the dead man’s snout
They eat your eyes, they eat your nose
They eat the jelly between your toes
And the worms crawl out, the worms crawl in
The worms that crawl in are lean and thin
The ones that crawl out are fat and stout
Your eyes fall in, your hair falls out
They invite their friends, and their friends too
They all come down to chew on you
And the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out
The worms play pinochle on your snout
They eat your eyes, they eat your nose
They eat the jelly between your toes
But at first you weren’t really gone,
You could hear the mourning song.
You yank the rope to ring the bell
You call for God and you curse hell
So this is what it is to die,
I hope you had a nice goodbye
Did you ever think as a hearse goes by
That you might be the next to die?
I like you girls you have something x
Camille and Kennerly I got the chills with this song, especially the part “you yank the rope to ring the bell you call for god and you curse hell”. I’m not ready to die but May blessings come before that happens.🙏🏻
It’s interesting that your research didn’t turn up an “official” version for this-I nominate these lyrics! 🙂 Seriously, many of these lines sound familiar to me, and the way you arrange it just flows perfectly. It really feels like this is how it’s meant to be. And you nailed the tune, spooky yet beautiful when performed on twin harps 🧡🖤
Sad but true...
Beautiful & creepy lol. 🎃 🦇 👻
I love it!
Imagine being a ghost in that graveyard listening to the beautiful music they’re playing
The amount of twisted thought that must have gone into this song is hilarious. Who ever came up with it must have been trying to terrify a child. It’s funny and morbid. The expressions on you faces while singing are great. I bet you two are crazy fun to hangout with.
Such a creepy song play so mesmerizingly well. You ladies are beyond talented.

Respectfully I had no idea this was an actual song. We used to sing this as kids thinking it was a made up song. Played and sung by you ladys it brings a whole different perspective to it.. chilling.

Their angel voices make this song sound even more disturbing.
I truly appreciate this version. I love this version make it clear that "you" were buried alive with the line about the Bell. Please you two sing it so beautifully.
These two ladies are elves disguised as humans and you can't convince me otherwise.
I met them in person. Can confirm
So sweet! Thank you! 💙💜 You might enjoy our original songs *Dark Elves (Dökkálfar)* ruclips.net/video/Z3qfksudUgY/видео.html and *Light Elves (Ljósálfar)* ruclips.net/video/ZAwlAfZ-Fp0/видео.html 🤗🤗
My best friend loved this song. Once social distancing is over, I'll play it for her at her grave. I wish she were still here to listen.
I'm so sorry
Nothing like soft voices, pretty faces, arp sounds before sleep!! Thank you guys you rock, in a beautiful way!
I never heard this song until after I got married.
(My wife worked in a funeral home then.)
She was the only person that I knew who ever heard this song.
Thanks for bringing back memories of her.
R.I.P. Pam.
This song is quite gruesome and macabre, and so much fun just in time for Halloween 😊
The suspicion that these harp playing angles have hauntingly beautiful voices as well in now confirmed.
They've sang in other videos before.
A terrorific season's treat! The Harp Twins make even postmortem sound beautiful! Great job, ladies!
Two very talented young ladies for sure
Beautifully played despite content with a lovely melody and wonderful singing
Wow
You look amazing in black and purple
But stunning in white
Fantastic in every way
Best costumes yet and very nice interpretation of this song! 😱 Takes me back to grade school. Thanks ladies!
This is an eerily beautiful version of this song! Amazing job as always.
These girls are so sweet! I got to see them 3 times. 2 were at Ramencon! They talk to their fans and dont shoo them away after a while. They walked the convention and experienced it with everyone. They took requests. They signed autographs for free..they are just very sweet!
You ladies could sing the local news paper and it would be mesmerizing. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Wow. Just, wow.
Tracy Sharpe ~ Thank you so much! Hugs, x2
Two beautiful angels playing the harp and singing 😍 🇧🇷.
I remember my grandfather, my mother's father singing this to himself, or humming it around the house, love it, I never did know the words to it.
This was NEVER done better. Thanks you both and all involved in this production! Just GREAT! As always! You both are so beautiful! I come for the beauty and stay for the talent and return for both...Always! Thanks for sharing. Keep up the fantastic passion you share with all of us so regularly. It's a labor of love and is greatly appreciated by so many as evidenced by the likes and subscribers you have. Such a great bunch of people posting on your videos. So awesome that your music brings us all together to share the joy in your music. Love you guys!!!! I mean Gals!!!!!!! Well,, Everyone involved. And thank you to your parents that supported you to get here. Much love to all!!!!!!
Fun, creepy, and elegant at the same time! 😆😆These worms keep busy! Awesome arrangement! It's great that you now have this on your Harp Fantasy 3 album!
I’m a long-time subscriber and an even longer-time fan. This is one of my favorite Halloween songs, and I would have NEVER expected you to cover it. But you did! I love you more today than yesterday. You two are a national treasure. Thank you.
I cannot say enough how much I absolutely love this. My brother and I don't always see eye to eye but when it comes to the Harp Twins we are in complete agreement, you ladies are incredible. Love your videos so much.
I first heard this in fourth grade, and then at a school I was applying for, and I never forgot it, bizarre and macabre as it was. But this is the best version of it I've ever heard! Thank you, Harp Twins!
Yep. It’s been around forever but they did a beautiful take on it
It's always a treat to see a new video of yours.
Why does this sound simultaneously beautiful and eery?
Edger Allen Poe - So Great. Your both so beautiful. Lovely Couple. May you always be together.
At my cousin's funeral, the guy driving the family limousine was a friend I hadn't seen in years.
I thought that I'd seen another friend on the street so I tapped the driver on his shoulder.
When I did that,he let out a blood curdling scream & drove off the road into a yard.
When he'd calmed down a little,he explained that lately, he'd been driving the hearse with the dearly departed more than the limousine with the grieving family inside.
I've heard versions of this song before during childhood, but never knew the origins of it. Who knew that anyone could make these gross and morbid lyrics sound elegant, even sexy? And the two of you do gorgeous in black. Thank you for this video, this made my night! Perfect for the Halloween season.
Super cool, and so seasonally appropriate. Personally, I love he B&W open/close, and despite the fact that B&W can (and has) been overdone, I'd love to see THIS video in all B&W too!
I'm 67 and remember singing his a a child. Not heard it in years. Was fun!
That is so cool! We posted our connection to this song in the drop down info under the video!
Thanks Camille, thanks Kennerly, beautiful song!
Captivatingly haunting! You are both lovely and, have such great talent!!!
I discovered your channel recently thanks to you RUclips rabbit hole. I've truly enjoyed every song you've done but this is the one I keep coming back to. I think this is your masterpiece. Everything works together perfectly. The tempo, your varying pitches, the camera angles, your outfits. Everything compliments everything else. I've even started reading things in a rhythm matching your voices.
I think you two should sing more often.
XR171 ~ Thank you for finding us, and giving us a listen. Thank you, x2, for the sweet compliment and encouragement! You can hear us sing in some cover songs... as well as our Nordic fantasy original songs inspired by our Norwegian family heritage. (The lyrics/words are in the information under each original video). Here is a Harps Twins Vocals playlist: tinyurl.com/y3kx4xps Please listen with headphones.
We are grateful because our videos (including this one) are completely self-made samples of music we have arranged ourselves for performances - Only our 2 harp parts - but No backing track, no Karaoke, no harp overlays, no loops, no studio, no crew. We film with a camera on a tripod or for the past 3+ years our Mom holding our phone.
Sending love, light, blessings, x2

it is a old song. Herd it as old English folk song then in the American book scary stories to tell in the dark.Think there is a bit of story about a woman meeting a corpse in the graveyard who asks if she will look like that when she dies.
You might be interested in the comment we pinned to the top - about the history of this song. Thanks for visiting!
Two most graceful and beautiful women in the world!!!!
Love to hear them play the old hymns. My grandfather's church in North Richland Hills had a lady that would play the harp. Beautiful like these 2 ladies.
I'll enjoy this 'til I die and the worms crawl in and the worms crawl out.
It’s so nice to hear you sing to your music, it ads more to love in the video ❤️
Thank you for giving us another nice song for October ☠️
Oh man, the way your lovely voices sound those lyrics... Oh man, it’s just spooky good! 🧡🖤
Philip Browning ~ Thank you for the lovely compliment, x2!
Ghoulishly great,macabely marvelous,spookily spot on for the season. Loved it.
I wish I had these two play this song at my funeral. Oh well, maybe next time.
I heard this on the Doctor Demento show 40 years ago!
Cool Ladies!
Erik the Mind Control Guy ~ Interesting! Thank you! You might enjoy checking out the info we posted under the video about the backstory/history to the song and our connection to the song. Sending love and blessings, x2
Love it!! I am view #6! Seeing this performed live in Michigan last Saturday was stellar!! A perfect Halloween Song!! 💙🎃💜
Ken, I saw it about 7 minutes after it was posted and it was up to 288 already!
Brought back memories of when my sister and I would sing this when we were kids. Thank you for bringing back those memories.
Only you can make lyrics like that sound so beautiful.
Absolutely right,Mr.Westen.
This is the most genuinely creepy song I've heard in a long time! Because it's real! Very well done!
So love listening to you ladies, sweet harps and even sweeter voices !!!
There is truly no one like them. I can be so depressed. And they will have me smiling and laughing. When I was sitting on the floor a few minutes ago crying like a little kid.🤣🌻🌻👍👍
Great :) I can't Believe that It's a children's song though 😅
Well, I am just a Russian girl who was looking for videos of people playing the harp for my book... And I found this masterpiece! Now I'm a fan of the song and a fan of you, girls!
Wow....fantastic. Love the harps. Not sure I have ever heard them played liked this before. :-D
I want you to tell me some scary stories in the dark.
I cant get enough of this track its unique
Mike Whittington ~ Thank you so much! We had a lot of fun writing arrangement. Adding to the lyrics of the old pre-Victorian song and filming our video.
I need this song on repeat on Oct 31st. What fun!
haha! We have a whole playlist for spooky songs - including *Fright Night*!! ruclips.net/user/CamilleandKennerlyplaylists
Simultaneously the creepiest and most beautiful version of this song I've ever heard. Thank you, Harp Twins👍👏👏👏.
twins, i learned this song about 1959. i had forgotten it until just now. thanks for making it fun. I did not learn it as a fun song, but sort of a song to remind me to live rightly, for we all shall eventually push up daisies.
love your music
Aye! I've been waiting for eerily beautiful female voice(s) to sing this song!
And look at that, two beautiful twins made a cover..!
Etherealシステム ~ So sweet! Thank you, x2!
Beautiful singing voices
AWESOME AS ALWAYS!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I pray as well for your grandma’s sister......so sad to hear of her passing 😢
The clock is 5:14 AM in here and I am looking this music for Harp Twins !
After knowing this from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, it was interesting to finally hear how it sounded. I also love how you ladies played it in a cemetary because it's the perfect place. Good job at making a creepy song sound beautiful. Very nice!
Dan Carrington ~ Thank you so much for the kind comment and encouragement!! You might enjoy checking out the information we posted under the video about this particular song, it's history, our connection to the song, and more. ;D ;D x2
At this point in your 11th, on the way to the Twelfth year of your Marvelous | Professional | Career you should already be... Grammy Winners, at least... once. «So many Performers already have it without such a career.» What you did and have done until now & will continue to do for the Harp, an instrument So RICH but at the same time so poor at the eyes of the 'weak', that every single composition
you so generously present to us greatly increases the purity of... (such) instrument-sized sound! Therefore, once again... I carefully take my hat... DOWN, to the Ground... almost, and with a simpleton Bow, I bow down... to make another VOW... of... Purity, simplicity & GRANDIOSITY... and MAJESTY!! [To the fIELDS of GOLD on that adorable Saturday, November 16th of 2019 on that Chicago filled room... love was all around @ home & NEM - Nothing Else Matters] BUT... YOUR MOST PRECIOUS AWARD, IS...YOUR LOVE FOR THE HARP. Plenty Enough..
Delightfully creepy!! I loved every second of this song!! Great job on the vocals ladies!! Especially Camille and her gravelly voice!!!!!!!!!🤣😍🤗🤩😁
Reminds me of an epitaph I heard once.
As you are, so once was I. As I am, so shall you be.
Very appropiate for the 🎃🎃 season. At first i thaught that this was an original from you both. Well you both have released another wonderful music video, with i reckon your own take on the oringinal version 🤗🤗 Perfect location ⚰☠🕇 for this new song from you both. Really enjoy'd your vocals👍 Great📱📽 from your mum👍👏 Well done on another great new music,song and video "The Hearse Song (The worms Crawl In) 💙💙
I remember my Aunt Sharon teaching me the lines "The worms go in, the worms go out/ The worms play pinochle in your mouth/ Your body turns a smelly green/ And (it?) comes out like lemon cream". I wonder how many different sets of lyrics there are. Very entertaining video, especially with your voices at once ethereal and foreboding.
This is a brilliant Halloween song. Love it
So sweet
Nothing like a cheerful song to get my day started, loved it 👍👍
That’s refreshing song for us that are dying but I love it. Your music is the best!!!
I can't get enough of this one ... your voices complement the harps so beautifully. Think you should sing more with the harps.
This was very popular with American aviators during the First World War. Gallows humor personified!
If this song doesn’t play during my final moments, I’m not dying.
haha! We hope that is a long time coming! We have a lot of fun music and much more to come!
I love a Holiday Carol , thanks for bringing us this Wonderful Worm Ditty.
I turned this on to listen, and a few minutes later my wife came in to see if I had lost my mind, love it! :-D
❤been awhile since i had a crush on twins ❤ lovely sound
Great!!! Congratulations girls 👏👏👏
I love you 💖💖
Very haunting nursery rhyme...perfect for the Halloween season
So precious both of you. I love your outfit. Always so feminine young ladies. Gorgeous style and voice ❤️🤗
It Sounds a Little Dark but I like it very much. I Love Everything About It. the Sound, The words, de video. Lots of Love ♡♡
Absolute excellence. Such a somber tune made almost a lullaby. Bravo, Ladies.
Eerily beautiful - *Hell Angels with heavenly harps*. Good, to hear you back again. Missed you a bit longer. Where have you stuck?
I just discovered this and your other videos. You are both wonderful.
That was pretty scary! 👺💀👻🎃🎃🎃.. I loved it!
Beautifully horrifying, spookably delightful video, music, song and girls.
There is rumbling happening underground because the beautiful music of the Hsrp Twins is touching the buried souls.
Someone below (com) mentioned readings, either way it's so "creepy" yet you two...as always made it sound so lovely, I love your creations & music! PLS NEVER STOP!
Once again ladies awesome awesome job keep up the good work
Beautifully melodic, hilarious and gruesome in perfect synchronicity! Absolutely 100% brilliant. I confess that I'd never heard of the song before hearing your version, but Wikipedia tells me that it definitely dates from at least as far back as WWI, with some evidence that it was sung by the troops in the Crimean War of the 1850s. The lines "The Worms Crawl In, The Worms Crawl Out" can be traced back even further - to 1810.
Stuart Barker ~ Thank you for enjoying our arrangement and video interpretation. You might enjoy reading the information we posted under the video about the background and history and our connection to the song. Happy New Year! Sending love and blessings from the tour road, x2!

Dark and Creepy... I love it!
Omg I'm 10 years old and I like this song
Ps I like your voices
Thank you for enjoying our music! Here is a complete Harp Twins Vocals playlist. It includes both covers and also our original Nordic/Celtic Fantasy songs inspired by our Norwegian family heritage: tinyurl.com/y3kx4xps 💜💙
You ladies are simply outstanding... Music is exceptional... Backdrops are amazing... Funny thing is this is the same cadence we used in the military to march to only not nearly as beautiful... I'm an old grunt and this nearly brought a tear to my eyes... Thank You very much both of y'all are truly amazing and I'm blessed to be able to listen.
we had a version as kids:
the worms crawl in the worms crawl out
the worms make peanut butter on your snout
your chest falls in, your hair falls out
oh what a terrible mess your in!
Now I need to modify this song to fit my Black Coach aka The Hearse in my D&D world. A little spooky song or poem to scare children to do good things or The Hearse will pick them up and take them to Ashencroft.
