1
They're gonna lay me low
2
(Lay me low)
3
They're gonna sink me in the snow
4
(Lay me low)
5
They're gonna throw back their heads and crow
6
(Lay me low)
7
When I go
8
(When I go)
9
They're gonna jump and shout
10
(Lay me low)
11
They're gonna wave their arms about
12
(Lay me low)
13
All the stories will come out
14
(Lay me low)
15
When I go
16
(When I go)
17
All the stars will glow bright
18
(Lay me low)
19
And my friends will give up the fight
20
(Lay me low)
21
They'll see my work in a different light
22
(Lay me low)
23
Yeah, when I go
24
(When I go)
25
They'll try telephoning my mother
26
(Lay me low)
27
But they'll end up getting my brother
28
(Lay me low)
29
Who'll spill the story on some long gone lover
30
(Lay me low)
31
That I hardly know
32
(When I go)
33
Hats off to the man
34
On top of the world
35
Come crawl up here, baby
36
And I'll show you how it works
37
If you wanna be my friend
38
And you wanna repent
39
And you want it all to end
40
And you wanna know when
41
Well, do it now, don't care how
42
Take your final bow
43
Make a stand, take my hand
44
And blow it all to hell
45
They gonna inform the police chief
46
(Lay me low)
47
Who'll breathe a sigh of relief
48
(Lay me low)
49
He'll say I was a malanderer and a badlander and a thief
50
(Lay me low)
51
Yeah, when I go
52
(When I go)
53
They'll interview my teachers
54
(Lay me low)
55
Who'll say I was one of God's sorrier creatures
56
(Lay me low)
57
They'll print informative six-page features
58
(Lay me low)
59
When I go
60
(When I go)
61
They'll bang a big old gong
62
(Lay me low)
63
The motorcade will be ten miles long
64
(Lay me low)
65
The world'll join together for a farewell song
66
(Lay me low)
67
When they put me down below
68
(When I go)
69
They'll sound a fluegelhorn
70
(Lay me low)
71
And the sea will rage and the sky will storm
72
(Lay me low)
73
All man and beast will mourn
74
(Lay me low)
75
When I go
76
(When I go)
77
Hats off to the man
78
On top of the world
79
Come crawl up here, baby
80
And we can watch this damn thing turn
81
If you wanna be my friend
82
And you wanna repent
83
And you want it all to end
84
And you wanna know when
85
Well, do it now, do it now
86
Take a long last bow
87
Take my hand, make a stand
88
And blow it all to hell
89
Lay me low, lay me low
90
(Lay me low)
91
Lay me low, lay me low
92
(Lay me low)
93
Lay me low, lay me low
94
(Lay me low)
95
Lay me low, lay me low
96
Yeah, when I go, yeah, when I
97
(When I go)
98
Lay me low, lay me low
99
(Lay me low)

Lay me low, yeah, lay me low
