Lyrics

[00:32.800] Boys workin on empty
[00:35.960] Is that the kinda way to face the burning heat?
[00:40.504] I just think about my baby
[00:43.888] I'm so full of love I could barely eat
[00:48.400] There's nothing sweeter than my baby
[00:51.762] I never want once from the cherry tree
[00:56.120] Cause my baby's sweet as can be
[00:59.799] She give me toothaches just from kissin me
[01:04.355] When, my, time comes around
[01:08.168] Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
[01:12.096] No grave can hold my body down
[01:16.090] I'll crawl home to her
[01:20.112] That's when my baby found me
[01:23.826] I was three days on a drunken sin
[01:28.106] I woke with her walls around me
[01:31.731] Nothin in her room but an empty crib
[01:36.018] And I was burnin up a fever
[01:39.506] I didn't care much how long I lived
[01:43.997] But I swear I thought I dreamed her
[01:47.266] She never asked me once about the wrong I did
[01:51.827] When, my, time comes around
[01:55.938] Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
[01:59.882] No grave can hold my body down
[02:03.604] I'll crawl home to her
[02:07.690] When, my, time comes around
[02:11.620] Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
[02:15.557] No grave can hold my body down
[02:19.538] I'll crawl home to her
[02:23.877] My baby never fret none
[02:27.076] About what my hands and my body done
[02:31.548] If the Lord don't forgive me
[02:34.895] I'd still have my baby and my babe would have me
[02:39.252] When I was kissing on my baby
[02:42.652] And she put her love down soft and sweet
[02:47.316] In the low lamp light I was free
[02:51.076] Heaven and hell were words to me
[02:55.333] When, my, time comes around
[02:59.062] Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
[03:03.188] No grave can hold my body down
[03:07.047] I'll crawl home to her
[03:10.972] When, my, time comes around
[03:15.003] Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
[03:18.886] No grave can hold my body down
[03:22.905] I'll crawl home to her
