[Verse 1]
Sometimes I think my man's too good to die
Sometimes I think my man's too good to die
But he's such a [?], he ought to be buried alive
[Verse 2]
But I love my man from his head down to his toes
He put me in bad luck, doggone his bad luck soul
Oh, I love him from his head down to his toes
[Verse 3]
I raised my hands to the good Lord in the sky
Oh babe, to the good Lord in the sky
You can't quit me, [it's?] no use for you to try
[Verse 4]
Mmm
Mmm
You can't quit me, [it's?] no use for you to try
[Verse 5]
Goin' to follow you to the burying ground
Goin' to follow you to the burying ground
And watch the pallbearers [as they/rush to] let you down
Sawmill Blues (Take 1) was written by Elzadie Robinson & Will Ezell.
