[Verse 1] I don't want no fancy coffin Don't lay me in no marble shrine When I leave this god almighty earth Won't you lay me in a box of pine [Verse 2] I've had my share of women Had more than my share of wine When I leave this god almighty earth Won't you lay me in a box of pine [Chorus] I'll walk this earth till my last dying day I want to leave this earth in a righteous way I rose from the ashes in the bible's word I trust I want to go back to the ashes, want to go back to the dust [Verse 3] A hard rain fell this morning Yesterday the sun did shine When I leave this god almighty earth Won't you lay me in a box of pine [Chorus] I'll walk this earth till my last dying day I want to leave this earth in a righteous way I rose from the ashes in the bible's word I trust I want to go back to the ashes, want to go back to the dust [Verse 1] I don't want no fancy coffin Don't lay me in no marble shrine When I leave this god almighty earth Won't you lay me in a box of pine [Outro] Won't you lay me in a box of pine Won't you lay me in a box pine (lay me down) x5
