Lay My Body Down Lyrics

Lay My Body Down lyrics

so I came all the way from Trenton,
spent a full night at the station,
in
a suitcase made of calico brown
now I'm almost out of money,
and I'm
sleepy and hungry,
I wanna lay my body down I don't wanna
cause
trouble,
I don't need a bath of bubbles,
just a floorboard for
the pavement on
the ground I'll take a steeple or a stable,
or a dining
room table,
just to lay my body down
lay, lay my body down
so I go
back to see my baby,
since no other place'll take me,
when I stop to
brush my hair back
with a comb
and I can almost see our porch
light,
and it's shining like a northern light,
God how I wanna be
home
to lay, lay my body down
lay, lay my body down
but some joke from
Albuquerque,
with some white wine and a turkey,
come to entertain my girl
while I
was gone
this bear thinks everything is funny,
he's got his
paws into my honey,
then he lay her body down
now just as every
schoolyard
has a teacher,
every chapel has a preacher,
every angry man
has 6 shells
to a round
I've been an honest man,
I've walked as
straight as I can,
but I'm gonna lay his body down
lay, lay his body
down
