23rd psalm - mickey lamantia lyrics

Loading...

he was all decked out in his work day best
clean white shirt, red wing boots, overalls
the first one in, last one out
best seat in the good lord’s house
he could see it all
and i’m sure he smiled as the preacher read
and his unsteady hand read the last requests

my work is done, the worlds through with me
and i’ve plowed my last tobacco field
don’t shed a tear, be sure to bury me
with a flask of whiskey, and a tractor key
and a photograph of my emily
and send me home back to my maker’s arms
with amazing grace, twenty third psalm

came back from ‘nam in ’64
purple heart and a diamond ring, for the girl next door
he led a hard scratch farmer’s life
a few good friends and a faithful wife, he adored
he was never one to ask for much
but to rest in peace, with a little peace, from the things he loved

my work is done, the worlds through with me
and i’ve plowed my last tobacco field
don’t shed a tear, be sure to bury me
with a flask of whiskey, and a tractor key
and a photograph of my emily
and send me home back to my maker’s arms
with amazing grace, twenty third psalm

lay me down in greener pastures
right beside the quiet waters
through the valley of the shadows

my work is done, the worlds through with me
and i’ve plowed my last tobacco field
don’t shed a tear, be sure to bury me
with a flask of whiskey, and a tractor key
and a photograph of my emily
and send me home back to my maker’s arms
with amazing grace, and a twenty third psalm
