If I Died
If I died on the bayou
When the sun is going down
Would you float me like Moses?
So they don't put me in the cold, hard ground
Would you gather the bayou?
Make a basket for me
And open my eyes and loosen the ties
And then set me free
If I died on the rails
The last southbound
Would you ask the conductor
To slow it on down, down, down?
Chase that carriage
The girl that you call
It felt well, ring that bell
To make it my last stop
If I died on the mountain
Far from my home
Would you carry me down?
Take a load of my weary bones
Tell all my family
There's nothing they need to bring
Well, I left my life toil and strife
But I died in peace
When the sun is going down
Would you float me like Moses?
So they don't put me in the cold, hard ground
Would you gather the bayou?
Make a basket for me
And open my eyes and loosen the ties
And then set me free
If I died on the rails
The last southbound
Would you ask the conductor
To slow it on down, down, down?
Chase that carriage
The girl that you call
It felt well, ring that bell
To make it my last stop
If I died on the mountain
Far from my home
Would you carry me down?
Take a load of my weary bones
Tell all my family
There's nothing they need to bring
Well, I left my life toil and strife
But I died in peace
