Fixin' To Die |
I’m lookin' funny in my eyes and I believe I’m fixin' to die, believe I’m |
fixin' to die |
I’m lookin' funny in my eyes and I believe I’m fixin' to die |
I know I was born to die but I hate to leave my children cryin' |
Just as sho' as we livin', just as sho' we born to die, sho' we born to die |
Just as sho' as we livin', sho' we born to die |
I know I was born to die but I hate to leave my children cryin' |
Your mother treated me, children, like I was her baby child, was her baby child |
Your mother treated me like I was her baby child |
That’s why’s I find it so hard to come back home to die |
So many nights at the fireside, how my children’s mother would cry, |
How my children’s mother would cry |
So many nights at the fireside, how my children’s mother would cry |
Cause I told the mother I had to say goodbye |
Look over yonder, on the burying ground, on the burying ground |
Look over yonder, on the burying ground |
Yon' stand ten thousand, standin' still to let me down |
Mother take my children back, before they let me down, before they let me down |
Mother take my children back, 'fore they let me down |
I don’t need for them to screamin' and cryin' on the graveyard ground |
