Work Song

Intro: (Eigth times) 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
