| @[dimitri:32776] 99% sure the lyrics are "the box or the bag, referencing his (or the) brother (buddy, etc) being sent home in a box (coffin) or bag (body bag). In other live versions,(see link below at 1:31 into song) he clearly says, "he's coming home in a box or a bag". On the album versions, the lyric is "I don't know whether it was a box or the bag" | |

Also of note, when performed live, the lyrics are frequently improvised and can vary along the same theme. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veK0oeGdxLo |
