Lyrics
When you lay me down to die Just burn me up and let me fry Cast my dust upon the ground Nevermore will I be found And if Saint Peter calls my name May I enter without shame And if it’s heaven that I go Then it’s Jesus that I’ll know If it’s soon that I pass on May I please you with a song And while I live upon this land I hope I’ve been a righteous man But when you lay me down to die Just give a wave and say good-bye ‘Cause if I’ve lived the life I should I’ll be remembered doing good I hope I’ve done all that I could And be remembered doing good
