Lay Me In The Ground

 

Chorus

When they lay me in the ground

I dont want nobody around

For all my enemies

They'll come and laugh at me

 

For I have defied

Too many along the line

As you lay me in the ground

Make sure nobody is around

 

Verse 1

When they lay me in the ground

Dont put much on my stone

Just say I lived

And lay in the plot alone

 

For the friends I have made

They have all gone done

Went and deserted me

When I picked up the gun

 

Chorus

When they lay me in the ground

I dont want nobody around

For all my enemies

They'll come and laugh at me

 

For I have defied

Too many along the line

As you lay me in the ground

Make sure nobody is around

 

Verse 2

When they lay me in the ground

Dont put much dirt on me

When they lay me in the ground

Shoot me to make sure I am dead

 

For I dont want to wake

Under 5 feet of dirt

Just to crawl out

And deliver so much hurt

 

Chorus

When they lay me in the ground

I dont want nobody around

For all my enemies

They'll come and laugh at me

 

For I have defied

Too many along the line

As you lay me in the ground

Make sure nobody is around

 

Verse 3

When they lay me in the ground

Above me plant a tree

So somebody may come

And water me

 

Maybe there is something good

To come out of this

As the tree grows

Through my bones and bits

 

Chorus

When they lay me in the ground

I dont want nobody around

For all my enemies

They'll come and laugh at me

 

For I have defied

Too many along the line

As you lay me in the ground

Make sure nobody is around
