Box Of Pine
[Verse 1]
I don't want no fancy coffin
Don't lay me in no marble shrine
When I leave this god almighty earth
Won't you lay me in a box of pine
[Verse 2]
I've had my share of women
Had more than my share of wine
When I leave this god almighty earth
Won't you lay me in a box of pine
[Chorus]
I'll walk this earth till my last dying day
I want to leave this earth in a righteous way
I rose from the ashes in the bible's word I trust
I want to go back to the ashes, want to go back to the dust
[Verse 3]
A hard rain fell this morning
Yesterday the sun did shine
When I leave this god almighty earth
Won't you lay me in a box of pine
[Chorus]
I'll walk this earth till my last dying day
I want to leave this earth in a righteous way
I rose from the ashes in the bible’s word I trust
I want to go back to the ashes, want to go back to the dust
[Verse 1]
I don't want no fancy coffin
Don't lay me in no marble shrine
When I leave this god almighty earth
Won't you lay me in a box of pine
[Outro]
Won't you lay me in a box of pine
Won't you lay me in a box pine (lay me down) x5
