Them's Graveyard Words

I've got a man

I had for a year

But he just won't treat me right

He knocked me silly with a rocking chair

'Cause I stayed out one night

But he done got my coat

'Cause he told me to my face

That he's done bought some girl a new fur coat

And she's done taken my place

Won't somebody open up his eyes?

'Cause that is graveyard words

And I'll show him before he dies

That them is graveyard words

I can see the undertaker putting flowers on doors

And a traveler going where he never come back no more

Tell him that I'll fix him sure as two and two is four

'Cause them is graveyard words

Go and tell him that he's slowly dying

Oh them is graveyard words

Please don't let me lose my rightful mind

'Cause them is graveyard words

I done polished up my pistol

My razor's sharpened too

He'll think the world done fell on him

When my dirty work is through

Tell him that I'll do just what I said I'd do

Oh them is graveyard words
