[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Boys workin on
empty
Is that the ki
nda way to fac
e the burning
heat?
I just think a
bout my baby
I'm so full of love I could barely eat
There's nothin
g sweeter than
my baby
I never want o
nce from the c
herry tree
Cause my baby'
s sweet as can
be
She give me toothaches just from kissin me
[Chorus]
When, my, time
comes around
Lay me gently
in the cold da
rk earth
No grave can h
old my body do
wn
I'll crawl hom
e to her
[Verse 2]
That's when my
baby found me
I was three da
ys on a drunke
n sin
I woke with he
r walls around
me
Nothin in her room but an empty crib
And I was burn
in up a fever
I didn't care
much how long
I lived
But I swear I
thought I drea
med her
She never aske
d me once abou
t the wrong I
did
[Chorus]
When, my, time
comes around
Lay me gently
in the cold da
rk earth
No grave can h
old my body do
wn
I'll crawl hom
e to her
When, my, time
comes around
Lay me gently
in the cold da
rk earth
No grave can h
old my body do
wn
I'll crawl hom
e to her
[Bridge]
My baby never
fret none
About what my
hands and my b
ody done
If the Lord do
n't forgive me
I'd still have my baby and my babe would have me
When I was kis
sing on my bab
y
And she put he
r love down so
ft and sweet
In the lowland
plot I was fr
ee
Heaven and hell were words to me
[Chorus]
When, my, time
comes around
Lay me gently
in the cold da
rk earth
No grave can h
old my body do
wn
I'll crawl hom
e to her
When, my, time
comes around
Lay me gently
in the cold da
rk earth
No grave can h
old my body do
wn
I'll crawl hom
e to her
