Lay Gently Low
I've courted angels
I've been loved by thieves
I know well what they think of me
When I light out and leave
But I don't worry
I don't fret
I've never heard ill spoken words
That drag me down yet
But when comes my time
At the end of my days
I pray that I have strength left to say
Lay gently low my body down
Cover me sweet, sweet, sweet Carolina ground
Take comfort now knowing where I'm bound
Lay gently low my body down
We buried sinners
We buried saints
Ain't a whole lot of change up on the stones
But for the names
I'm not ashamed
But I'm not too proud
I'm just trying to keep up on my feet
When the weight drags me down
But when comes my time
At the end of my days
I pray that I have strength left to say
Lay gently low my body down
Cover me sweet, sweet, sweet Carolina ground
Take comfort now knowing where I'm bound
Lay gently low my body down
Lay gently low my body down
Cover me sweet, sweet, sweet Carolina ground
Take comfort now knowing where I'm bound
Lay gently low my body down
I've been loved by thieves
I know well what they think of me
When I light out and leave
But I don't worry
I don't fret
I've never heard ill spoken words
That drag me down yet
But when comes my time
At the end of my days
I pray that I have strength left to say
Lay gently low my body down
Cover me sweet, sweet, sweet Carolina ground
Take comfort now knowing where I'm bound
Lay gently low my body down
We buried sinners
We buried saints
Ain't a whole lot of change up on the stones
But for the names
I'm not ashamed
But I'm not too proud
I'm just trying to keep up on my feet
When the weight drags me down
But when comes my time
At the end of my days
I pray that I have strength left to say
Lay gently low my body down
Cover me sweet, sweet, sweet Carolina ground
Take comfort now knowing where I'm bound
Lay gently low my body down
Lay gently low my body down
Cover me sweet, sweet, sweet Carolina ground
Take comfort now knowing where I'm bound
Lay gently low my body down
