Bobby Long Dead And Done
Heaven is a place where people die pretty Stars don't lie and there's cash in the kitty Running from the rocks, there's water for the lips To ease your mouth and bathe your fist
There's no need for trouble when the road's all down The body's out of work cause the minds in town The circus has been twice already My throwing arm is good and my heart is steady
I'm dead and I'm done by the heat of the sun and I'll rest my hat in an Autumn field and I'll hang my hat in an Autumn field In an Autumn field
Tell my momma not to worry The food is sweet and the weather's been sunny and I'm well known round a-bout The local pick pocket is a lay-about
Tell my daddy oh there's no need for washing They do it in your sleep when you're not watching I've already had the neighbors here Johnny Cash came round and we split a beer
I'm dead and I'm done by the heat of the sun and I'll rest my hat in an Autumn field and I'll hang my hat in an Autumn field In an Autumn field
The girls up here sure look swell They sing like birds, I hear it's nothing like hell The local priest says there's no need for cheatin' The local wags call it meetin' and a-greetin'
I'm dead and I'm done by the heat of the sun and I'll rest my hat in an Autumn field and I'll hang my hat in an Autumn field
