Gentle's Lament Lyrics

Words and music by jimmy nailHey momma don't you cry for me
I'm gonna shake all the apples off of all the trees
Oh yeah, but I'm coming homeHey baby don't you weep tonight
When I see them apples hangin' gonna take a bite
Oh yeah, but I'm coming homeHey daddy don't you worry now
I'm gonna make every little thing right somehow
Oh yeah, I'm coming homeHey momma don't you cry no more
You know that very soon now I'll be beyond the law
Oh yeah, I'm coming homeHey child remember when I'm gone
I got to ride in a town car, twenty feet long
Oh yeah, I'm coming homeHey boy you'd better get it right
When you tie that rope you'd better fix it tight
Oh yeah, I'm coming homeHey boys you remember me
I rocked the ground. I shook the tree, but no more
I'm coming homeHey jesus give a hand to me
I'm a two-time sinner tryin' to make it three
I'm about as bad as I can be, but I swear
I'm coming home

Oh I'm coming home
