My mother and father sere buried here Beneath the cold and lonely hills So carry me home and lay me down So when it's time, I'll come around Sleepy town, oh sleepy town Don't you change where I am bound Lay me down, oh lay me down In sleepy town, is where I'll be found Somewhere high up in those hills
I did see, you waiting for me So now I know I'm a gonna die And in your arms is where I'll lie Sleepy town, oh sleepy town Don't you change where I am bound Lay me down, oh lay me down In sleepy town, is where I'll be found Lay me down, oh lay me down Lay me down in sleepy town
