Burying Ground |
| I’ve been up, Lord, Lord, I’ve been down |
| Feel like I’m headed to that burying ground |
| I’ve been up, Lord, Lord, I’ve been down |
| Feel like I’m headed to that cold burying ground |
| I told you once, baby, I told you twice |
| I ain’t the kind of man who’d be a sacrifice |
| I’ve bent and I’ve been broken |
| So bent and broken that I didn’t feel no pain |
| Told you once, twice, three times over |
| Told you there’s a devil child up upon my shoulder |
| Don’t stand in my shadow, woman, don’t you shake my tree |
| Don’t rattle my chain, girl, and don’t you Judas me |
| So far up, Lord, so far down |
| Long black car to drive me to that burying ground |
| I’ve seen things could make a grown man cry |
| Been so high, couldn’t get no higher |
| Call for the doctor, I feel like I’m dying |
| Call for the doctor, now I know I’m bound to die |
| I stayed awake for six nights runnin' |
| I’ve been awake six nights in a row |
| Now I can see them, six white horses |
| Come to take me where I shouldn’t wanna go |
| I’ve been down, down to the jailhouse |
| I’ve been down, down to the church |
| I’ve been down, so deep in darkness |
| So far down and darkness that the sun don’t ever shine |
| I’ve been up, Lord, Lord, I’ve been down |
| Feel like I’m headed to that ice cold burying ground |
| Baby, please tell my brothers |
| Tell them that I’m sorry for things that I have done |
| And baby, please take this letter |
| Take it to my father when I’m in the burying ground |
| I’ve been up, Lord, Lord, I’ve been down |
| Feel like I’m headed to that cold burying ground |
| I’ve been up, Lord, Lord, I’ve been down |
| Feel like I’m headed to that ice cold burying ground |
| Been up, been down |
| Feel like I’m headed to that burying ground |
| So far up, Lord, so far down |
| Feel like I’m headed to that ice cold burying ground |
