Jimmy Nail - Gentle's Lament lyrics

Words and music by jimmy nail Hey momma don't you cry for me I'm gonna shake all the apples off of all the trees Oh yeah, but i'm coming home Hey baby don't you weep tonight When i see them apples hangin' gonna take a bite Oh yeah, but i'm coming home Hey daddy don't you worry now I'm gonna make every little thing right somehow Oh yeah, i'm coming home Hey momma don't you cry no more You know that very soon now i'll be beyond the law Oh yeah, i'm coming home Hey child remember when i'm gone I got to ride in a town car, twenty feet long Oh yeah, i'm coming home Hey boy you'd better get it right When you tie that rope you'd better fix it tight Oh yeah, i'm coming home Hey boys you remember me I rocked the ground. i shook the tree, but no more I'm coming home Hey jesus give a hand to me I'm a two-time sinner tryin' to make it three I'm about as bad as i can be, but i swear I'm coming home Oh i'm coming home
