august greenwood - when i die (ol’ carolina) lyrics

Loading...

when i die, don’t let the pastor speak
please don’t bury me there
in the churchyard over yonder
with the dead who wouldn’t share their picket fence with me
if i went by my name
if i didn’t restrain, hold my tongue
and sugar coat
while they shove those hymns and verses down my throat
abuse those words in which he wrote
’til i choke

when i die, don’t let them pray for me
they’ll just do it all wrong
changе the words to my song
and all my friends won’t be madе welcome
in their company
no room there to grieve
with the weight of belief over my head
like georgia pine
i’ll take my whisky with their wine
my own communion in my mind

but i love her
ol’ carolina, my beauty
i love her
as is my sacred duty

when i die, please let my friends feel safe
to place a flower on my grave
please give them some sp+ce
and, when i die, don’t let the pastor in the building
don’t let him lay his hands on me
with a prayer that i could be
someone different, someone clean
acquiescent and pristine
all my love and kindness goes unseen

but i love her
ol’ carolina, my beauty
i love her
as is my sacred duty
she’s my mother
and i love her

how i love her
ol’ carolina, my beauty
i love her
as is my sacred duty
she’s my mother
and i love her
but she don’t love me
