Randy Travis - Send My Body lyrics

rate me

The judge found me guilty of wrong doing

And sentaced me to hang in mid-July

He said to me "Your lifes a ruin"

"If I was you I'd breake right down a cry"

Well, Nobody seems to care I ain't guilty

I never did the things they said I've done

But I guess they have to hang somebody

And It's looking like I'm gonna be the one

So send my body home on a freight trian

Don't worry none if I don't go 1st class

Send my body home of a fright train

So everyone can see me when I pass

Don't worry none about no fancy funeral

Cause it don't matter how they lay me down

Just see they bury me out by Mama's Apple Tree

and send my body back to my home town

My Mama was a damm ahrd working woman

and she tried to raise he kids without a fault

The last thing sh said, she was on her dying bed was "Son, on't get in trouble with the law"

When the time comes to meet my maker

I'm gonna try my very best

to take it like a man

When they ask if I have one request

I'll just say "send my body home on a freight trian

Don't worry none if I don't go 1st class

Send my body home of a fright train

So everyone can see me when I pass"

"Don't worry none about no fancy funeral

Cause it don't matter how they lay me down

Just see they bury me out by Mama's Apple Tree

and send my body back to my home town"
