Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Boys workin' on empty
Is that the kinda way to face the burning heat?
I just think about my baby
I'm so full of love I could barely eat
[Verse 2]
There's nothing sweeter than my baby
I'd never want once from the cherry tree
And my baby's sweet as can be
She give me toothaches just from kissin' me
[Verse 3]
When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold, dark Earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her
[Verse 4]
Boys, when my baby found me
I was three days on a drunken sin
I woke with the walls around me
Nothin' in her room but an empty crib
[Verse 5]
And I was burnin' up a fever
Didn't care much how long I lived
But I swear I thought I dreamed her
She never asked me once about the wrong I did
[Verse 6]
When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold, dark Earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her
[Verse 7]
When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold, dark Earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her
[Verse 8]
My baby never fret none
About what my hands and my body done
If the Lord don't forgive me
I'd still have my baby and my babe will have me
[Verse 9]
Well, I was kissing on my baby
And she put her love down soft and sweet
In the lonely plot I was free
Heaven and hell were words to me
[Verse 10]
When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold, dark Earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her
[Verse 11]
When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold, dark Earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her
