Lyrics for Diamonds At Your Feet

She got to take sick and die one of these days She got to take sick and die oh! one of these days All the medicine I can buy, and all the doctors she can hire She got to take sick and die one of these days When she's dead I'm gonna bury her very deep When she's dead I'm gonna bury her very deep I'm gonna bury her very deep, rubies and diamonds round her feet She got to take sick and die one of these days I got to take sick and die one of these days She got to take sick and die oh! one of these days All the medicine she can buy, and all the doctors she can hire She got to take sick and die one of these days She got to take sick and die one of these days She got to take sick and die one of these days All the medicine she can buy, and all the doctors she can hire She got to take sick and die one of these days If it was me and all the powers in my hands If it was me and all the powers in my hands If it was me and all the powers laying there child in my hands She would have to go down to the promised land
