hope I never die, hope I never grow old
hope I live forever like the green grass grows
leaving in the morning, done all I could do
if I get to the gates of heaven I'll surely send for you
if death comes a-knockin I'll tell him what I know:
all good children go to heaven and you reap just what you sow
like dynamite to a train track you wounded my only heart
pack my bags & sell my soul I'll take of when the morning comes
autumn comes upon us like the leaves it blows our way
here I am moaning & cold in the pouring rain
autumn comes upon us like the leaves it blows our way
wish I could get myself out of the pouring rain
the stars are shining bright & that moon is hanging high
just like a bird must sing his song a man has got to die
yellow leaves light my path and that wind sings through the trees
just like them my season's taken everything from me
