1. |
Feelin' funny in my mind, Lord, I believe I'm fixin' to die.
Feelin' funny in my mind, Lord, I believe I'm fixin' to die.
Well, I don't mind dyin', but I hate to leave my children cryin'. |

2. |
Well, look over yonder to that burying ground.
Look over yonder to that burying ground.
Sure seems lonesome, Lord, when the sun goes down. |

3. |
Feelin' funny in my eyes, Lord, I believe I'm fixin' to die, fixin'
to die.
Feelin' funny in my eyes, Lord, I believe I'm fixin' to die.
Well, I don't mind dyin', but I hate to leave my children cryin'. |

4. |
There's black smoke risin', Lord, it's risin' up above my head,
up above my head.
There's black smoke risin', Lord, it's risin' up above my head.
And tell Jesus, make up my dyin' bed. |

I'm walkin' kind of funny, Lord, I believe I'm fixin' to die, fixin'
to die.
Yes, I'm walkin' kind of funny, Lord, I believe I'm fixin' to die,
fixin' to die, fixin' to die.
Well, I don't mind dyin', but I hate to leave my children cryin'. |
