Send My Body

[00:08.26] Well that judge he found me guilty of wrong doing
[00:11.95] And he sentenced me to hang in mid July
[00:16.08] He look down at me and said you're lifes a ruin
[00:20.02] If I were you I'd break right down and cry
[00:24.72] But nobody seems to care that I ain't guilty
[00:29.33] 'Cause I never did the things they said I've done
[00:33.69] But I guess they're gonna have to hang somebody
[00:37.63] And It's lookin' like I'm goin to be the one
[00:43.10] Chorus:
[00:45.22] So send my body home on a freight train
[00:47.63] And don't worry none that I don't go first class
[00:50.78] Send my body home on a freight train
[00:55.67] So everyone can see me when I pass
[01:01.05] And don't worry none about no fancy funeral
[01:05.39] It don't matter how they lay me down
[01:10.53] Just see they bury me out by mama's apple tree
[01:14.87] And send my body back to my home town
[01:19.46] --- Instrumental ---

[01:39.25] The last thing that she said she was on her dying bed
[01:44.14] Was son don't get in trouble with the law
[01:48.30] Whenever my time comes to meet my maker
[01:52.56] I'm going to try to do my very best
