Where Rainbows Never Die

I'm an old woman now, I can't do nothin'
Young folks don't pay me no mind
But in my day I sure was something
Before I felt the heavy hand of time

I will make my way
Across the fields of cotton
And wade through the muddy waters
One last time
And in my dreams, I'm comin' out clean
When I reach the other side
West of where the sun sets
Where the rainbows never die

I'm an old woman now, I'm bound for glory
Time to lay my burden down
Had enough of this old world of worry
Gonna trade my troubles for a crown

I will make my way
Across the fields of cotton
And wade through the muddy waters
One last time
And in my dreams, I'm comin' out clean
When I reach the other side
West of where the sun sets
Where the rainbows never die

I've got one last thing to do
One more mile before I'm through
Castin' off these earthly chains
Goin' where there's no more pain

I will make my way
Across the fields of cotton
And wade through the muddy waters
One last time
And in my dreams, I'm comin' out clean
When I reach the other side
West of where the sun sets
Where the rainbows never die

I'm an old woman now
I can't do nothin'
Young folk don't pay me no mind
