Song Lyrics

So many nights at the fireside, i know i was born to die but i hate to leave my children cryin
Like i was her baby child, sho we born to die
was her baby child
fixin to die
How my children s mother would cry, like i was her baby child

Mother take my children back, just as sho we born to die
How my children s mother would cry, just as sho as we livin
on the burying ground
How my children s mother would cry, look over yonder
like i was her baby child

On the burying ground, just as sho as we livin, cause i told the mother i had to say goodbye
that s why s i find it so hard to come back home to die
Yon stand ten thousand, i know i was born to die but i hate to leave my children cryin, mother take my children back
on the burying ground
Cause i told the mother i had to say goodbye, your mother treated me like i was her baby child

your mother treated me like i was her baby child
yon stand ten thousand
fixin to die
like i was her baby child
fore they let me down

Standin still to let me down, sho we born to die, sho we born to die
I don t need for them to screamin and cryin on the graveyard ground, i know i was born to die but i hate to leave my children cryin, look over yonder
Before they let me down, yon stand ten thousand
I know i was born to die but i hate to leave my children cryin, how my children s mother would cry Ronk, mother take my children back
Look over yonder, sho we born to die Die, so many nights at the fireside

Before they let me down, just as sho we born to die, that s why s i find it so hard to come back home to die
Just as sho as we livin, fixin to die, i m lookin funny in my eyes and i believe i m fixin to die
Yon stand ten thousand, was her baby child
So many nights at the fireside, i don t need for them to screamin and cryin on the graveyard ground, cause i told the mother i had to say goodbye
On the burying ground, so many nights at the fireside, i m lookin funny in my eyes and i believe i m fixin to die

i know i was born to die but i hate to leave my children cryin
mother take my children back
sho we born to die
Look over yonder, how my children s mother would cry to, standin still to let me down
standin still to let me down

i know i was born to die but i hate to leave my children cryin
so many nights at the fireside
I m lookin funny in my eyes and i believe i m fixin to die, fixin to die Die, sho we born to die
Standin still to let me down, like i was her baby child Dave, cause i told the mother i had to say goodbye
On the burying ground, so many nights at the fireside

on the burying ground
that s why s i find it so hard to come back home to die
I m lookin funny in my eyes and i believe i m fixin to die, i m lookin funny in my eyes and i believe i m fixin to die, that s why s i find it so hard to come back home to die
Just as sho we born to die, mother take my children back Ronk, on the burying ground
fore they let me down

How my children s mother would cry, so many nights at the fireside, how my children s mother would cry
i m lookin funny in my eyes and i believe i m fixin to die
Just as sho as we livin, just as sho as we livin
