Lyrics

[00:32.64] Boys workin on empty
[00:36.12] Is that the kinda way to face the burning heat?
[00:40.62] I just think about my baby
[00:44.40] I'm so full of love I could barely eat
[00:48.38] There's nothing sweeter than my baby
[00:51.78] I never want once from the cherry tree
[00:56.46] Cause my baby's sweet as can be
[00:59.61] She give me toothaches just from kissin me
[01:04.18] When, my, time comes around
[01:08.31] Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
[01:12.20] No grave can hold my body down
[01:16.70] I'll crawl home to her
[01:20.11] That's when my baby found me
[01:23.75] I was three days on a drunken sin
[01:27.96] I woke with her walls around me
[01:31.62] Nothin in her room but an empty crib
[01:35.85] And I was burnin up a fever
[01:39.35] I didn't care much how long I lived
[01:43.74] But I swear I thought I dreamed her
[01:47.21] She never asked me once about the wrong I did
[01:51.72] When, my, time comes around
[01:55.91] Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
[01:59.62] No grave can hold my body down
[02:03.59] I'll crawl home to her
[02:07.63] When, my, time comes around
[02:11.58] Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
[02:15.50] No grave can hold my body down
[02:19.41] I'll crawl home to her
[02:23.67] My baby never fret none
[02:27.21] About what my hands and my body done
[02:31.40] If the Lord don't forgive me
[02:34.72] I'd still have my baby and my babe would have me
[02:39.24] When I was kissing on my baby
[02:42.75] And she put her love down soft and sweet
[02:47.26] In the low lamp light I was free
[02:51.20] Heaven and hell were words to me
[02:55.14] When, my, time comes around
[02:59.14] Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
[03:03.90] No grave can hold my body down
[03:06.92] I'll crawl home to her
[03:11.90] When, my, time comes around
[03:15.70] Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
[03:18.76] No grave can hold my body down
[03:22.64] I'll crawl home to her
