Lyrics for Lay Me Low

They're gonna lay me low (lay me low) They're gonna sink me in the snow (lay me low) They're gonna throw back their heads and crow (lay me low) When I go They're gonna jump and shout (lay me low) They're gonna wave their arms about (lay me low) All the stories will come out (lay me low) When I go All the stars will glow bright (lay me low) And my friends will give up the fight (lay me low) They'll see my work in a different light (lay me low) Yeah, when I go They'll try telephoning my mother (lay me low) But they'll end up getting my brother (lay me low) Who'll spill the story on some long-gone lover (lay me low) That I hardly know Hats off to the man On top of the world Come crawl up here, baby And I'll show you how it works If you wanna be my friend And you wanna repent And you want it all to end And you wanna know when Well do it now don't care how Take your final bow Make a stand, take my hand And blow it all to hell They gonna inform the police chief (lay me low) Who'll breathe a sigh of relief (lay me low) He'll say I was a malanderer, a badlander, and a thief (lay me low) Yeah, when I go They will interview my teachers (lay me low) Who'll say I was one of God's sorrier creatures (lay me low) They'll print informative six-page features (lay me low) When I go They'll bang a big old gong (lay me low) And the motorcade will be ten miles long (lay me low) The world will join together for a farewell song (lay me low) When they put me down below They'll sound a fluegelhorn (lay me low) And the sea will rage, and the sky will storm (lay me low) All man and beast will mourn (lay me low) When I go Hats off to the man On top of the world Come crawl up here, baby And we can watch this damn thing turn If you wanna be my friend And you wanna repent And you want it all to end And you wanna know when Well do it now, do it now Take a long last bow Take my hand, make a stand And blow it all to hell Lay me low, lay me low Lay me low, lay me low, lay me low Lay me low, lay me low Lay me low, lay me low, lay me low Yeah, when I go Yeah, when I... Lay me low, lay me low Lay me low, lay me low Lay me low, lay me low, lay me low Yeah when I go Lay me low, lay me low, lay me low Lay me low, lay me low Lay me low, lay me low
