Текст песни
i bowed down to pray
You know i went in my room, i said the blues came along and drove my spirit away
you know i went in my room
I said the blues came along and drove my spirit away, for my weight in gold, not for my weight in gold
I said i bowed down to pray, i folded up my arms and i slowly walked away Cassandra, til the good ole sun went down
You know i went in my room, i got a letter this mornin, farewell honey
Looked like there was 10,000 people standin round the buryin ground, i didn t have a soul to throw my arms around, til the good ole sun went down
And i said and i took off down the road, not for my weight in gold, how come the gal you love is dead?
You know i went in my room, i ll see you on the judgment day.
for my weight in gold
You know i didn t feel so bad, you know i didn t know i loved her til they damn laid her down Death, when i got there she was layin on a coolin board
And i said i looked down in her face, i grabbed up my suitcase
How come the gal you love is dead?, but when i got there she was already layin on a coolin board
I didn t have a soul to throw my arms around, i wouldn t mistreat you baby
I say how do you reckon it read, looked like there was 10,000 people standin round the buryin ground, how do you reckon it read
and took off down the road
Have mercy on my wicked soul, for my weight in gold
Looked like 10,000 were standin round the buryin ground, you know i didn t know i loved her til they damn laid her down
And took off down the road, til the good ole sun went down
You know i didn t know i loved her til they damn laid her down, not for my weight in gold
I ll see you on judgment day., i said i bowed down to pray Cassandra, she got to lay here til the judgment day
i didn t have a soul to throw my arms around
I said the good ole gal, for my weight in gold, your love is dead.
