Work Song
[Verse 1]Boys, workin on emptyIs that the kinda way to face the burning heat?I just think about my babyI'm so full of love I could barely eatThere's nothing sweeter than my babyI never want once from the cherry treeCause my baby's sweet as can beShe give me toothaches just from kissin me
[Chorus]When, my, time comes aroundLay me gently in the cold dark earthNo grave can hold my body downI'll crawl home to her
[Verse 2]That's when my baby found meI was three days on a drunken sinI woke with her walls around meNothin in her room but an empty cribAnd I was burnin up a feverI didn't care much how long I livedBut I swear I thought I dreamed herShe never asked me once about the wrong I did
[Chorus](2x)
[Bridge]My baby never fret noneAbout what my hands and my body doneIf the Lord don't forgive meI'd still have my baby and my babe would have meWhen I was kissing on my babyAnd she put her love down soft and sweetIn the lowland plot I was freeHeaven and hell were words to me
[Chorus](2x)
