I would rather be buried
In some cypress grove
I would rather be buried
In some cypress grove
To have some woman Lord
That I can't control
And I'm going away now
I'm going away to stay
And I'm going away now
I'm going away to stay
That'll be all right pretty mama
You gonna need my help someday
And the sun going down
And you know what your promise means
And the sun going down
You know what your promise means
And what's the matter baby
I can't see
I would rather be dead
And six feet in my grave
I would rather be dead
And six feet in my grave
Than to be way up here honey
Treated this way
And the old people told me baby
But I never did know
The old people told me baby woman
But I never did know
The good book declare
You got to reap just what you sow
When your knee bone's aching
And your body cold
When your knee bone's aching
And your body cold
Means you just getting ready honey
For the cypress grove
