No Roses

I was born in a flood tears
My parents much too late in years
And the last of the cold was mine one day
But they left me in a forgotten place
My daddy was once a good boy, but he got lost in the dust
Ain’t no roses on my grave
Put me in the cold cold ground
Meet me in the morning
And watch as the winter rain is falling
Ain’t no roses on my grave
Put me in the cold cold ground
Meet me in the morning
And watch as the winter rain is falling… down
I was born on a flooded plain
From a rusted shack to the world I came
And the water rose and the water veined
I spread my wings, my eyes a blaze
My daddy was once a good boy, but he got lost in the dust
Ain’t no roses on my grave
Put me in the cold cold ground
Meet me in the morning
And watch as the winter rain is falling…
Ain’t no roses on my grave
Put me in the cold cold ground
Meet me in the morning
And watch as the winter rain is falling…
Hold me down, hold me down
Beat me in the morning waves
So all my sins have all been washed away
Hold me down, hold me down
Beat me in the morning waves
So all my sins have all been washed away
I went down to the river to wash my sins away
But no water in that river and my tears fell down like rain
Now the waters rising up above a shack on the dirty plain
My family on the roof top, Lord, I can almost hear them sing
Ain’t no roses on my grave
Put me in the cold cold ground
Meet me in the morning
And watch as the winter rain is falling…
Ain’t no roses on my grave
Put me in the cold cold ground
Meet me in the morning
And watch as the winter rain is falling…
(Down to the river to wash my sins away)
Hold me down, hold me down
Beat my head under the waves
So all my sins have all been washed away
Hold me down, hold me down
Down beneath the deepest grave
Let that rain wash my sins away
Beat me in the morning waves
So all my sins have been washed away
Keep my head under the water
So all my sins have been washed away
Beat me in the morning waves
So all my sins have been washed away
Keep my head under the water
So all my sins have been washed away
(Down to the river to wash my sins away)
Down beneath the deepest grave
Let the rain wash my sins away
I was born in a flood of tears
My parents much too late in years
My daddy was once a good boy but he got lost in the dust
