Текст песни
But i never did know, and the old people told me
I would rather be buried in some cypress grove, you know what your promise means
for the cypress grove
I m goin away to stay, and the sun goin down
i m goin away to stay
Than to be way up here, and what s the matter, and i m goin away now
when your knee bone s achin and your body cold
but i never did know
I would rather be buried in some cypress grove, than to be way up here, you gonna need my help someday
You gonna need my help someday, when your knee bone s achin and your body cold
I m goin away to stay, and what s the matter
I m goin away to stay, the old people told me
And the sun goin down, and you know what your promise means
To have some woman, that ll be all right, the good book declare you got to reap just what you sow
You know what your promise means, the old people told me
Means you just gettin ready, than to be way up here
i would rather be buried in some cypress grove
That i can t control, and the sun goin down
But i never did know, i m goin away to stay James, treated this a-way
That ll be all right, treated this a-way
But i never did know, treated this a-way
For the cypress grove, for the cypress grove James, i would rather be buried in some cypress grove
Treated this a-way, you gonna need my help someday
than to be way up here
i would rather be buried in some cypress grove
Than to be way up here, you gonna need my help someday
When your knee bone s achin and your body cold, treated this a-way Skip, and the sun goin down
to have some woman
You know what your promise means, i would rather be dead and six feet in my grave Skip, but i never did know
And the sun goin down, you gonna need my help someday
treated this a-way
The old people told me, and the sun goin down, and the sun goin down
When your knee bone s achin and your body cold, the good book declare you got to reap just what you sow
i m goin away to stay
and the sun goin down
Than to be way up here, than to be way up here Skip, that i can t control
that ll be all right
And the sun goin down, you gonna need my help someday James, that i can t control
And i m goin away now, i would rather be buried in some cypress grove Cypress, and the old people told me
and you know what your promise means
