Lyrics

[00:10.24] I would rather be buried in some cypress grove
[00:16.19]
[00:20.54] I would rather be buried in some cypress grove
[00:26.48]
[00:30.70] To have some woman Lord that I can't control
[00:36.89]
[00:40.80] And I'm goin' away now I'm goin' away to stay
[00:46.50]
[00:50.70] And I'm goin' away now I'm goin' away to stay
[00:56.58]
[01:00.70] That'll be all right pretty mama you gonna need my help someday
[01:06.27]
[01:10.30] And the sun goin' down and you know what your promise means
[01:16.09]
[01:20.26] And the sun goin' down you know what your promise means
[01:25.83]
[01:29.82] And what's the matter baby I can't see
[01:35.53]
[01:39.48] I would rather be dead and six feet in my grave
[01:45.30]
[01:49.10] I would rather be dead and six feet in my grave
[01:55.15]
[01:58.85] Than to be way up here honey treated this away
[02:04.90]
[02:08.61] And the old people told me baby but I never did know
[02:14.16]
[02:17.87] The old people told me baby woman but I never did know
[02:23.75]
[02:27.55] The good book declare you got to reap just what you sow
[02:33.00]
[02:37.07] When your knee bone's achin' and your body cold
[02:42.72]
[02:46.14] When your knee bone's achin' and your body cold
[02:51.74]
[02:55.47] Means you just gettin' ready honey for the cypress grove
