lyrics 📃

boys workin′ on empty
is that the kinda way
to face the burning heat?
i just think about my baby
i'm so full of
love i could barely eat
there′s nothing sweeter
than my baby
i'd never want once
from the cherry tree
'cause my baby′s sweet as can be
she give me toothaches
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 drunken sin
i woke with her walls around me
nothin' in her room,
but an 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 to her
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
my babe would 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 lamp light 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
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
