Lyrics

LAY DOWN IN THE DIRT

My old Devil, here’s my goodbye
Let you down and let you go
May your Devils, may your Angels
Let you rest

Heard you Mama, heard you moaning
Heard you whisper my name in the wind
Heard you Mama, heard you Mama
Don’t you cry

Hold on, don’t waste that tear
Soon the heartache will disappear
When I lay down in the dirt
When I lay down in the dirt

Heard the church bells, heard ‘em ringing
For that someone I don’t know
Still together in grateful silence
I bow my head

Heard you whisper, may your trying
Still it’s so hard to see your face in mine
My old Devil brought some flowers
Oh mortal home

Hold on, still I am near
Like the birds you know I have so dear
When I lay down in the dirt
When I lay down in the dirt

Oh no, no need for fear
Still it’s cold, dark and silent here
Down here in the dirt
Down here in the dirt
