Rotting away by this water hole Left me no face just an empty soul I ain't got no one nowhere to go Ain't nobody's fault except my own
Here I lay all broke and torn But I'm gonna keep on a holding on Been wanting to die but too weak to go Oh please help me stranger I'd die here alone
Oh lay me down lightly 'Cause my eyes I can't see yeah
Oh just help me oh just help me see Oh baby you gotta help me baby help me please Oh lay me down lightly 'Cause my eyes I can't see
Putting down people by the score Now I've been put down six feet or more I can still feel my face When they knocked in the nails You know I could hear my woman a wail
