[Verse 1:]
Boys working 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.
There's nothing sweeter than my baby,
I never want once from the cherry tree,
‘Cause my baby's sweet as can be,
She give me toothaches just from kissing me.
[Chorus:]
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 2:]
That's when my baby found me,
I was three days on a drunken sin,
I woke with her walls around me,
Nothing in her room but an empty crib.
And I was burning up a fever,
I 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.
[Chorus: 2x]
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 3:]
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 would have me.
When I was kissing on my baby,
And she put her love down soft and sweet,
In the lowland plot I was free,
Heaven and hell were words to me.
[Chorus: 2x]
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.
