Lyrics
0:34Boys working on empty
0:37Is that the kinda way to face the burning heat
0:41I just think about my baby
0:44I'm so full of love I could barely eat
0:48There's nothing sweeter than my baby
0:51I never want once from the cherry tree
0:56'Cause my baby's sweet as can be
0:59She give me toothaches just from kissing me
1:03When my time comes around
1:07Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
1:10No grave can hold my body down
1:14I'll crawl home to her
1:18That's when my baby found me
1:21I was three days on a drunken sin
1:25I woke with her walls around me
1:28Nothing in her room but an empty crib
1:32And I was burnin' up a fever
1:35I didn't care much how long I lived
1:40But I swear I thought I dreamed her
1:43She never asked me once about the wrong I did
1:47When my time comes around
1:50Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
1:54No grave can hold my body down
1:58I'll crawl home to her
2:01When my time comes around
2:05Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
2:09No grave can hold my body down
2:12I'll crawl home to her
2:16My baby never fret none
2:19About what my hands and my body done
2:23If the Lord don't forgive me
2:26I'd still have my baby
2:27And my babe would have me
2:30When I was kissing on my baby
2:34And she put her love down soft and sweet
2:38In the lowland plot I was free
2:41Heaven and hell were words to me
2:45When my time comes around
2:49Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
2:52No grave can hold my body down
2:56I'll crawl home to her
3:00When my time comes around
3:03Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
3:07No grave can hold my body down
3:10I'll crawl home to her
3:14When my time comes around
3:18Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
3:21No grave can hold my body down
3:25I'll crawl home to her
3:29When my time comes around
3:32Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
3:36No grave can hold my body down
3:40I'll crawl home to her
