Dead and Gone ft. Father Mountain & His Tin Can Band Lyrics

Lay me down, then forget my name

Carve the dates into the stone

Leave the flowers at my doorstep

But never come into my home

Take me there in a long black limousine

Let them all see as I go down

Dress me in your finest clothing

Put a solid gold piece in my mouth

I lay me down to sleep

(Sleep forever more)

I pray the Lord my soul to keep

(For whatever that's good for)

I don't mind no potter's field, no

Just fly that steeple half-mast while I'm gone

Don't bring me no heavenly choir

that's the duty one lonely horn can do

Make sure you're all decked out in black

Cause you never know when I might come back

Dead and gone

Dead and gone

Dead and gone

Dead and gone
