Cypress Grove

I'd rather be buried way down in some cypress grove

I'd rather be buried way down in some cypress grove

To have me a woman that I can't controlYour knee-bone gon' aching and your body sure getting cold

Knee-bone gon' ache and your body sure getting cold

And you're just getting ready for some cypress groveThe old people, they try to tell me but I never did know

Old people, they try to tell me but, Lord, I never did know

The good book is sure gonna tell you, you got to reap what you sow"Girl", I've told you, "I know I'd been lying"

"Enough", I told you, told you, "I know I'd been lying"

Come through me, now, I'm dyingI'd rather be lying six feet down in the ground

I'd rather be lying six feet down in the ground

Than be way up here and let you throw me downTake back what you give, take back, that's all so hard, so hard to live

Take back, now, take back what you give, that's so hard to live

We're goingI'd rather be lying in some more cypress grove
