Boys work in on empty
Is that the kind away to face the burning heat
I just think about my baby
I'm so full of love I could barely eat
There's nothings we eter than my baby
I never want once from the cherry tree
Cause my baby's sweet as can be
She give me too thaches just from kissin me
When, my, time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her
That's when my baby found me
I was three days on a drunkensin
I woke with her walls around me
Nothin in her room but na empty crib
And I was burnin up a fever
I didn't care much how long I lived
But I swear I thought I dreamed her
She never asked me once about the wrong I did
When, my, time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home toher
My baby never fret none
About what my hands and my body done
If the Lord don't forgive me
I'd still have my baby and my babe would have me
When I was kissing on my baby
And she put her love down soft and sweet
In the low land plot I was free
Heaven and hell were words to me
When, my, time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her
