Lyrics

Oh, don't, don't, don't Don't put no headstone on my grave. All my life I've been a slave, I don't want the world to know, Here lies the fool that loved you so. Don't send no flowers when I'm gone, I just want you to put me down, and then move on. Just put me down and let me be Free, from all this misery. Now tell my Mother, tell my Mother not to cry, I'll see her in the by and by. Tell her that I'm finally free From all the trouble you caused me. Please don't, please don't put no headstone on my grave, Like I said all my life I've been a slave, Just put me down and let me be Free, from all this misery. Oh, tell my Mother not to cry, Tell her I'll see her in the by and by. Tell her that I'm finally free From all the pain you caused me. But don't, don't put a headstone on my grave All my life I've been a slave, I want you to put me down and cover me up, and let me be Free from all this misery. Lord, just let me be right now pretty baby, And just let me go.
