文本歌词

I'm lookin' funny in my eyes and I believe I'm fixin' to die believe I'm fixin' to die
I'm lookin' funny in my eyes and I believe I'm fixin' to die
I know I was born to die but I hate to leave my children cryin'
Just as sho' as we livin' just as sho' we born to die sho' we born to die
Just as sho' as we livin' sho' we born to die
I know I was born to die but I hate to leave my children cryin'
Your mother treated me children like I was her baby child was her baby child
Your mother treated me like I was her baby child
That's why's I find it so hard to come back home to die
So many nights at the fireside how my children's mother would cry how my children's mother would cry
So many nights at the fireside how my children's mother would cry
Cause I told the mother I had to say goodbye
Look over yonder on the burying ground on the burying ground
Look over yonder on the burying ground
Yon' stand ten thousand standin' still to let me down
Mother take my children back before they let me down before they let me down
Mother take my children back 'fore they let me down
I don't need for them to screamin' and cryin' on the graveyard ground
