'Til I'm Dead and Gone

High up in the mountains cutting the timbers

down, all I do from dusk to dawn is follow

that mule around

I had no intentions of staying away this long

but I guess I won't be home 'til I'm dead

and gone

Picked peaches down in Georgia, cotton in

Tennessee, trying to make a livin's going to

be the death of me

So if you want to find me just look where the

wind has blown

Hun, I won't be home 'til I'm dead and gone

Go find another fella if you want to, I won't say

you ever done me wrong

This ol' heart ain't nothing to hold onto

Hun, I won't be home 'til I'm dead and gone

Up here in these tall pines leanin' into the wind

doing my best to catch my breath

'Til I hit the road again the only thing I know

how to do is keep on rambling on

I guess I won't be home 'till I'm dead and gone

Go find another fella if you want to, I won't say

you ever done me wrong

This ol' heart ain't nothing to hold onto

Hun, I won't be home 'til I'm dead and gone

There's a great big shade tree shadowing

the stones

Where I want you to lay me down to rest my

weary bones

There ain't really nowhere else in this earth

I belong

Guess I won't be home 'til I'm dead and gone

Go find another fella if you want to, I won't say

you ever done me wrong

This ol' heart ain't nothing to hold onto

Hun, I won't be home 'til I'm dead and gone

Hun, I won't be home 'til I'm dead and gone
