Richie Havens Lay You Down Boys
Lay you down boys
Come on home
Come on home
Lay you down boys
Rest your bones
Your mama loves you
Right or wrong
Lay you down boys
Lay down your guns
From the cities
to the country farms
lay you down boys
lay down your arms
come on home boys
don’t you buy no more
let your love without the wars
let your love without the wars
come on home boys
don’t you buy no more
from the Mississippi
to the foreign shore
let your love without the wars
across the station
out on the street
we’ll go marching
with the breath of peace
yes we’ll be marching
in the free sunlight
from every border
to the mountain highs
Lay you down boys
come on home
come on home
Lay you down boys
Rest your bones
Your mama loves you
Right or wrong
Lay you down boys
Lay down your guns
Lay down
Lay you down boys
Rest your eyes
All your learning
Has turned to lies
let all those experts
Then decide
Come on home boys
Come home alive
Come home alive
Alive
Come home alive
alive
