Work Song (Live at Omeara)

[Verse 1]
Boys been workin' on empty
Is that the kinda way to face the burning heat?
I just think about my baby
I'm so full of love I could barely eat
There's nothin' sweeter than my baby
Never want once from the cherry tree
There's nothin' sweet as my baby
Give me toothaches just from kissin' me

[Chorus]
When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
No grave could hold my body down
I'll crawl home to you

[Verse 2]
Boys when my baby found me
I was three days on a drunken sin
Woke with the walls around
Nothin' in the room but an empty crib
I was burnin' up a fever
Didn't care so much how long I lived
And I swear I coulda dreamed her
Never asked me once 'bout what I did

[Chorus]
When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
No grave could hold my body down
Crawl home to ya
When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
No grave could hold my body down
Crawl home to ya

[Bridge]
Ooh-oh
Ooh-ooh-oh

[Chorus]
When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
No grave could hold my body down
Crawl home to you

[Spoken Outro]
