Fixin To Die Blues Lyrics

I'm lookin' funny in my eyes and I believe I'm fixin' to die, believe I'm fixin'
to die

I'm lookin' funny in my eyes and I believe I'm fixin' to die

I know I was born to die but I hate to leave my children cryin'



Just as sho' as we livin', just as sho' we born to die, sho' we born to
die

Just as sho' as we livin', sho' we born to die

I know I was
born to die but I hate to leave my children cryin'



Your mother
treated me children like I was her baby child, was her baby child

Your
mother treated me like I was her baby child

That's why's I find it so
hard to come back home to die



So many nights at the fireside, how
my children's mother would cry, how my children's mother would cry

So
many nights at the fireside, how my children's mother would cry

Cause I
told the mother I had to say goodbye



Look over yonder, on the
burying ground, on the burying ground

Look over yonder, on the burying
ground

Yon' stand ten thousand, standin' still to let me down



Mother take my children back, before they let me down, before they let me
down

Mother take my children back, 'fore they let me down

I don't
need for them to screamin' and cryin' on the graveyard ground
