lonesome graveyard - lightning hopkins lyrics

Loading...

sleep on, sleep on, sleep on
little girl, sleep on, just sleep on
sleep on, sleep on,
little girl, just sleep on, sleep on
well i know you’re dead and resting darling, but one day
i know the graveyard’s gonna be my home

(every living people got to die, human beings)

mama was rocking by the window,
howling: my poor child is dead, yes she’s dead
yeah you know my poor child is dead and gone

(what made me feel so good, she said this:)

sleep on, sleep on son,
do you know your mother is coming on?
whoa the graveyard ain’t too beautiful,
but it will give you a home so long.

i wouldn’t mind dying,
po’ lightnin’ would just have to lay dead so long
wouldn’t mind dying,
but i’d have to lay dead so long
that i wouldn’t have a chance to come back here and tell my friends,
no n-body, what is going on.

told my baby, don’t worry if i die, darling,
i know i’m gonna leave your little bed warm
don’t worry if po’ lightnin’ lay down and die,
’cause i’m gonna leave your little bed very warm
whoa you know, i can’t worry when i’m dead and gone, but one thing,
little girl, i know you is coming home.
