<P> "The Hearse Song" is a song about burial and human decomposition, of unknown origin . It was popular as a World War I song, and was popular in the 20th century as an American and British children's song, continuing to the present . It has many variant titles, lyrics, and melodies, but generally features the line "the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out", and thus is also known as "The Worms Crawl In". </P> <P> While there are reports of the song dating back to British soldiers in the Crimean War (1853--1856), it certainly dates to at least World War I (1914--1918), when it was sung by American and British soldiers, and was collected in various World War I songbooks of the 1920s . The key line "the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out" appears in some versions of the otherwise unrelated song "There was a lady all skin and bone", and may date to 1810 or earlier . </P>
