Hozier - Work Song (Live In America) lyrics

Boys workin' on empty Is that the kinda way to face the burning heat? I just think about my baby I'm so full of love I could barely eat There's nothing sweeter than my baby I'd never want once from the cherry tree Cause my baby's sweet as can be She'd give me toothaches just from kissin' me [Chorus:] When, my, time comes around Lay me gently in the cold dark earth No grave, can hold my body down I'll crawl home to her Boys, when my baby found me I was three days on a drunken sin I woke with her walls around me Nothin' in her room but an empty crib And I was burnin' up a fever I didn't care much how long I lived But I swear I thought I dreamed her She never asked me once about the wrong I did [Chorus x2:] When, my, time comes around Lay me gently in the cold dark earth No grave, can hold my body down I'll crawl home to her My babe would never fret none About what my hands and my body done If the Lord don't forgive me I'd still have my baby and my babe would have me When I was kissin' on my baby And she put her love down soft and sweet In the low lamp light I was free Heaven and hell were words to me [Chorus x2:] When, my, time comes around Lay me gently in the cold dark earth No grave, can hold my body down I'll crawl home to her
