Lay Me Down
My legs gone tired. My feet, they hurt
I've been too long walkin' this earth
My head is weary but I get no rest
Find no comfort 'til the day I'm dead
Why don't you lay me down, Deep in the ground
Why don't you lay me down?
Why don't you lay me down, Deep in the ground
Why don't you lay me down?
This air grows cold. My sight gone dim
Fetch me the preacher. Go and fetch my kin
Tell everybody that my time is short
Glory Hallelu, going to meet the Lord
He come to lay me down, Deep in the ground
He come to lay me down
Lord won't you lay me down, Deep in the ground
He come to lay me down
Carve my name upon a stone
Find me a box for to carry my bones
My body will tremble and my voice will shake
When I hear that angel calling my name
He come to lay me down, Deep in the ground
He come to lay me down
Lord won't you lay me down, Deep in the ground
Why don't you lay me down?
I've been too long walkin' this earth
My head is weary but I get no rest
Find no comfort 'til the day I'm dead
Why don't you lay me down, Deep in the ground
Why don't you lay me down?
Why don't you lay me down, Deep in the ground
Why don't you lay me down?
This air grows cold. My sight gone dim
Fetch me the preacher. Go and fetch my kin
Tell everybody that my time is short
Glory Hallelu, going to meet the Lord
He come to lay me down, Deep in the ground
He come to lay me down
Lord won't you lay me down, Deep in the ground
He come to lay me down
Carve my name upon a stone
Find me a box for to carry my bones
My body will tremble and my voice will shake
When I hear that angel calling my name
He come to lay me down, Deep in the ground
He come to lay me down
Lord won't you lay me down, Deep in the ground
Why don't you lay me down?
