I haven't been sad now

For so many years

With no foe to fight

Death's all I feared

'Cause death could take you

Death could take you

And that's just what it do

That's just what it do



A bird in my ear

Was beaking away

About all the jewels

He'd come across that day

Jewels in the grass

Jewels in the grass

Where the worms used to be

Where the worms used to be



The cattle were lowing

They cried for your feet

The clouds were your arches

The cows were asleep

And they spoke of you

They spoke of you

As they laid there and mooed

As they lay there and "moo"



The house walls are tighter

The bed it is small

Housing just one soul

Just one soul at all

Where it once held two

It once held two

Now it doesn't hold you

Now it doesn't hold you



The ride and I won't be

Towards working today

That's good, that's over

You are away

And now I'll undo

Now I'll undo

That's just what I'll do

That's just what I'll do
