    The judge decreed it, the clerk he wrote it. Clerk
    he wrote it down indeed-e Judge decreed it, clerk
    he wrote it down Give you this jail sentence
    you'll be Nashville bound
    Some got six month some got one solid. Some got
    one solid year indeed-e Some got six month some
    got one solid. But me and my buddies all got
    lifetime here
    I wrote a letter I mailed in the air, Mailed it on
    the air indeed-e I wrote a letter I mailed in the
    air. You may know by that I've got a friend
    somewhere

    Lay down my dear brothers, lay down and take your rest
    Oh won't you lay your head upon your saviour's breast
    I love you, oh but Jesus loves you the best
    And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
    And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
    And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

    Lay down my dear brothers, lay down and take your rest
    Oh won't you lay your head upon your saviour's breast
    I love you, oh but Jesus loves you the best
    And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
    And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

    Walking in Jerusalem just like John (bid you goodnight, goodnight)
    I remember right well, I remember right well (bid you goodnight, goodnight) (note 1)
    His rod and his staff shall comfort me (bid you goodnight, goodnight)
    Tell "A" for the ark, that wonderful boat (bid you goodnight, goodnight)
    Tell "B" for the beast at the ending of the wood (bid you goodnight, goodnight)
    Well it eat all the children that would not be good (bid you goodnight, goodnight)
    I'm walking in Jerusalem just like John (bid you goodnight, goodnight)
    Walking in the valley of the shadow of death (bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight)

    Lay down my dear brothers, lay down and take your rest
    Oh won't you lay your head upon your saviour's breast
    I love you, oh but Jesus love you the best
    And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
    And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
    And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

    Isn't it strange how princesses and kings
    And clowns their capers in sawdust rings
    And common people you and me will be builders for eternity
    Each is given a bag of tools, a shapeless mass, and a book of rules

    And each must make, ere life has flown
    A stumbling block or a stepping stone
    And ommon people you and me will be builders for eternity
    Each is given a bag of tools, a shapeless mass, and a book of rules

    Pow wa pow pow, pow wa pow pow pow
    Wa pa pa pow pow, wa pow pow pa pow pow
    Pow wa pow pow, pow wa pow pow pow
    Wa pa pa pow pow, wa pow pow pa pow pow

    And poor people you and me will be builders for eternity
    Each is given a bag of tools, a shapeless mass, and a book of rules

    Look where rain is falling from the sky
    I know the sun will be only missing for a while
    And common people you and me will be builders for eternity
    Each is given a bag of tools, a shapeless mass, and a book of rules

    Pow wa pow pow, pow wa pow pow pow
    Wa pa pa pow pow, wa pow pow pa pow pow
    Pow wa pow pow, pow wa pow pow pow
    Wa pa pa pow pow, wa pow pow pa pow pow

    I say
    Poor people you and me will be builders for eternity
    Each is given a bag of tools, a shapeless mass, and a book of rules

    Pow wa pow pow, pow wa pow pow pow
    Wa pa pa pow pow, wa pow pow pa pow pow
    Pow wa pow pow, pow wa pow pow pow
    Wa pa pa pow pow, wa pow pow pa pow pow

    Got a fist full of trouble, babe
    And one more will get you three
    Spent whole life shakin' peaches, babe
    Poison peaches, trouble tree
    If I could change my way of living
    Well it would mean so much to me

    Blue smoke in the bar room, babe
    Tattooed muscle, beer for beer
    Brown bottles and whiskey, babe
    Got a pay phone to my ear
    Woman made me love her
    Now some dude tells me she ain't here

    Give me whiskey for whiskey, babe
    Give me blow for blow
    Give me whole lot of nothing, babe
    But to go down slow
    Give me fire for fire, babe
    Give me ice for ice
    Give me something to live for, babe
    Now I'm asking nice

    Ooh
    Whoa, God damn eternal tease
    Bury me standing
    I been a lifetime on my knees
    Bury me at the crossroads
    Lay me down and let me be

    Once again the crossroads and there
    Ain't no moon hangin in the trees
    Goddess tossed my number, babe
    Leave me begging, baby please
    Bury me standing
    I been a lifetime on my knees
    Bury me at the crossroads
    Lay me down and let me be

    Let me be
    Lay me down and let me be...

    I been ballin' a shiny black steel jack-hammer
    Been chippin' up rocks for the great highway
    Live five years if I take my time
    Ballin' that jack and a drinkin' my wine.

    I been chippin' them rocks from dawn till doom
    While my rider hide my bottle in the other room
    Doctor say I better stop ballin' that jack
    If I live five years gonna bust my back, yes I will

    Easy wind cross the bayou today
    There's a whole lotta women, mama,
    Out in red on the streets today.
    And the river keep a talkin'
    But you never hear a word it say

    Gotta find a woman be good to me
    Won't hide my liquor try to serve me tea
    'Cause I'm a stone jack baller and my heart is true
    And I'll give everything that I got to you, yes I will

    Easy wind blowing cross the bayou today
    There's a whole lotta women, mama,
    Out in red on the streets today
    And the river keep a talkin'
    But you never hear a word it say

    "love is real not fade away"
    "Some rise some fall some climb to get the terrapin"
    "believe it if you need it and if not then pass it on"
    "sometimes you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right"

    Trouble ahead, Lady in red
    Take my advice you'd be better off dead
    Switchman's sleeping, train hundred and two is
    On the wrong track and headed for you

    Every silver lining's got a touch of grey
    I will get by
    I will survive
