Work Song Lyrics

by Freya Ridings

[Verse 1]
Boys, 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 nothing sweeter than my baby
I never want once from the cherry tree
There's nothing 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 can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her

[Verse 2]
That's when my baby found me
I was three days on a drunken sin
I woke with her walls around
Nothin' in the room but an empty crib
And I was burnin' up a fever
I didn't care so much how long I lived
And I swear I thought I dreamed her
Never asked me once about the wrong I did

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

[Interlude]
Ooh-oh
Ooh-ooh-oh

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