Lay Me Down

Lay my body in the ground
No one's gonna love me now
Pray the lord my soul to take
This man died from a heartache

'82, 2012
Is what reads on my tombstone now
This man loved and then he lost
For his love he paid the cost

The day they laid me down
My momma cried out loud
Lord forgive my son
For he knows not what he's done

Precious Lord take my hand
For just a closer walk with Thee
Amazing Grace played for my friends
And my closest family

The day they laid me down
My daddy cried out loud
Lord forgive my son
For he knows not what he's done

Lay me in the ground
I can't live without her around
She gave her life to the disease
Lord may we rest in peace

Lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down Lord in the ground
Lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down Lord in the ground

Lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down Lord in the ground
Lay me down, lay me down
Lay me down Lord in the ground

Lay me down, lay me down
Bury me six feet in the ground
Lay me down, lay me down
Bury me six feet in the ground

The day they laid me down
The angels cried out loud
Lord forgive your son
For he knows not what he's done

Lord forgive your son
For he knows not what he's done

Lay me down, Lay me down
Lay me down Lord in the ground

Lay me down, Lay me down
Lay me down Lord in the ground
