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