Lyrics
Remember me, baby, when I'm layin' six foot in the cold, cold ground
Remember me, baby, when I'm layin' six foot in the cold, cold ground
Lord, I want you to say at my funeral, "That's one good man gone down"
Don't cry, baby, don't cry when I'm gone
Don't cry, baby, don't cry when I'm gone
Just say a real good man left you, and I ain't done nothin' wrong
Follow my body on down to the buryin' ground
Follow my body on down to the buryin' ground
Lord, I want you to watch the pall
Bearers as they ease my body on down
I blame you, mama, 'cause you drove me from your door
I blame you, mama, 'cause you drove me from your door
Then had the nerve to tell me that you didn't want me no more
Know the reason why I love my baby
'Cause she's little and tailor-made
Reason why I love my baby, 'cause she was more than tailor-made
She could make my love come down, nine a.m. the same
