Send My Body |
| Well that judge he found me guilty of wrong doing |
| And he sentenced me to hang in mid July |
| He look down at me and said you’re lifes a ruin |
| If I were you I’d break right down and cry |
| But nobody seems to care that I ain’t guilty |
| 'Cause I never did the things they said I’ve done |
| But I guess they’re gonna have to hang somebody |
| And It’s lookin' like I’m goin to be the one |
| So send my body home on a freight train |
| And don’t worry none that I don’t go first class |
| Send my body home on a freight train |
| So everyone can see me when I pass |
| And don’t worry none about no fancy funeral |
| It don’t matter how they lay me down |
| Just see they bury me out by mama’s apple tree |
| And send my body back to my home town |
| My mama was one damn hard workin' woman |
| She tried to raise us kids without a pa |
| The last thing that she said she was on her dying bed |
| Was son don’t get in trouble with the law |
| Whenever my time comes to meet my maker |
| I’m going to try to do my very best |
| I’m going try to stand and take it like a man |
| When they ask if I have one request |
| I’ll just say … |
| Send my body home on a freight train |
| And don’t worry none that I don’t go first class |
| Send my body home on a freight train |
| So everyone can see me when I pass |
| And don’t worry none about no fancy funeral |
| 'Cause it don’t matter how they lay me down |
| Just See they bury me out by mama’s apple tree |
| And send my body back to my home town |
| Yes, just see they bury me out by mama’s apple tree |
| And send my body back to my home town… |
