I'll Sleep When I'm Dead (Alternate Version)

So much to do, there's plenty on the farm

I'll sleep when I'm dead

Saturday night I like to raise a little harm

I'll sleep when I'm deadI'm drinking heartbreak motor oil and Bombay gin

I'll sleep when I'm dead

Straight from the bottle, twisted again

I'll sleep when I'm dead alrightWell, I take this medicine as prescribed

I'll sleep when I'm dead

It don't matter if I get a little tired

I'll sleep when I'm deadI've got a 38 special up on the shelf

I'll sleep when I'm dead

If I start acting stupid

I'll shoot myself

And I'll sleep when I'm dead
