I’d rather be buried in some cypress grove
I’d rather be buried in some cypress grove
Than to have me a woman Lord I can’t control
There’s a big ol’ mansion way up on the hill
My father won’t know me but the gatekeeper will
I’d rather be buried way on down the road
Than to have my bones in the Cypress Grove

sometimes the heart is the loneliest place to finds some rest
i am growing old
Lately - I been tryina take it easy
you know i'll take it anyway i can get it
aint nothing wring with that babe
sometimes its darkest before the dawn
everyone tryina make it home
sometimes the heart is the loneliest place to finds some rest
lately I been tryin so hard to keep it straight
lately I been finding it hard to keep my head up Lord
lately I been thinking that I'm heading down them same streets Lord
sometimes its darkest before the dawn
everyone tryina make it home
sometimes the heart is the loneliest place to finds some rest
