Lay Me Low Lyrics

Lay Me Low lyrics

*****************



 Lay Me Low



 *****************



 



 



 They're gonna lay me low (Lay me low)



 They're gonna sink me in the snow



 They're gonna throw back their heads and crow



 When I go



 



 



 They're gonna jump and shout (Lay me low)



 They're gonna wave their arms about



 All the stories will come out



 When I go



 



 



 All the stars will glow bright (Lay me low)



 And my friends will give up the fight



 They'll see my work in a different light



 When I go



 



 



 They'll try telephoning my mother (Lay me low)



 But they'll end up getting my brother



 Who'll spill the story on some long-gone lover



 That I hardly know



 



 



 Hats off to the man



 On top of the world



 Come crawl up here, baby



 And I'll show you how it works



 If you wanna be my friend



 And you wanna repent



 And you want it all to end



 And you wanna know when



 Well do it now don't care how



 Take your final bow



 Make a stand Take my hand



 And blow it all to hell



 



 



 They gonna inform the police chief (Lay me low)



 Who'll breathe a sigh of relief



 He'll say I was a malanderer, a badlander, and a thief



 When I go



 



 



 They will interview my teachers (Lay me low)



 Who'll say I was one of God's sorrier creatures



 There'll print informative six-page features



 When I go



 



 



 They'll bang a big old gong (Lay me low)



 The motorcade will be ten miles long



 The world will join together for a farewell song



 When they put me down below



 



 



 They'll sound a fluegelhorn (Lay me low)



 And the sea will rage, and the sky will storm



 All man and beast will mourn



 When I go



 



 



 Hats off to the man



 On top of the world



 Come crawl up here, baby



 And we can watch this damn thing turn



 If you wanna be my friend



 And you wanna repent



 And you want it all to end



 And you wanna know when



 Well do it now Do it now



 Take a long last bow



 Take my hand Make a stand



 And blow it all to hell



 



 



 Lay me low...



 When I go...
