Layin' on my back
In the newly mown grass
Rain is coming down
But I know the clouds will pass
You bring me tears
Say, the babes a-sleeping
Lay down beside me
Love ain't for keeping
Black ash from the foundry
Hangs like a hood
But the air is perfumed
By the burning firewood
The seeds are bursting
The spring is seeping
Lay down my darlin'
Love ain't for keeping
Lay down beside me
Love ain't for keeping
Lay down beside me
Love ain't for keeping
Lay down my darlin'
Love ain't for keeping
