the upstart crows - dixie wailin lyrics

[verse 1]
when my time is here
call my friends to gather near
tell the doctor and the preacher i am failing
but forget about your black
’cause i plan on coming back
play some honky+tonky grief and dixie wailin’

[chorus]
pick me up and lay me down
spread the news all over town
tell them all to come or they’ll be sorry
oh, pick me up and shake me twice
i’m coming back from paradise
and this poor boy is here to live in glory

[verse 2]
when it’s time to say goodbye
all my friends will sit and cry
as they watch the coffin rockin’ ’round and squirmin’
thеn they’ll raise a mighty shout
when my bonеs come marching out
and i praise myself and preach my final sermon

[chorus]
oh, pick me up and lay me down
spread the news all over town
tell them all to come or they’ll be sorry
oh, pick me up and shake me twice
i’m coming back from paradise
and this poor boy is here to live in glory
[verse 3]
when the earth begins to quake
from the shaking of my wake
i’ll be here, making music like a lifeline
and that honky+tonky grief
gives my angels sweet relief
’cause you know that dixie wailin’ will survive

[chorus]
pick me up and lay me down
spread the news all over town
tell them all to come or they’ll be sorry
pick me up and shake me twice
i’m coming back from paradise
and this poor boy is here to live in glory
oh, pick me up and lay me down
spread the news all over town
tell them all to come or they’ll be sorry
oh, pick me up and shake me twice
i’m coming back from paradise
and this poor boy is here to live in glory
