Big Sugar Nashville Grass (for Woody) Lyrics

Nashville Grass (for Woody) Lyrics

(G. Johnson/APJJ/G. Lowe) 







Someone tell me, do you know



Where did Allen Woody go and were you there?



I was told with great remorse



He fell off his rocking horse and landed in his chair







Southern daylight hurts my eyes



Standing under southern skies as I stare



Somewhere down in Tennessee



The scene was all too much for me to bear







All my good friends, gather around



On the Nashville burial ground







Nashville grass that the sun burned brown



Ashes to ashes we all fall down



We all got to stand in the same judgement



For a lifetime lived and a lifetime spent



Nashville grass singing one more song



Carry him along, boys, carry him along



I saw these things come to pass



Standing on the Nashville grass







Standing in the Sunday suit



I saw his own black cowboy boots







Tell me someone, do you know



Where did Allen Woody go and were you there?



Were you there?



I was there







Nashville grass that the sun burned brown



Ashes to ashes we all fall down



We all got to stand in the same judgement



For a lifetime lived and a lifetime spent







Nashville grass singing one more song



Carry him along, boys, carry him along



I saw these things come to pass



Standing on the Nashville grass
