Sleep on, sleep on, sleep on
Little girl, sleep on, just sleep on
Sleep on, sleep on,
Little girl, just sleep on, sleep on
Well I know you`re dead and resting darling, but one day
I know the graveyard`s gonna be my home
(every living people got to die, human beings)
Mama was rocking by the window,
Howling: my poor child is dead, yes she`s dead
Yeah you know my poor child is dead and gone
(What made me feel so good, she said this:)
Sleep on, sleep on son,
Do you know your mother is coming on?
Whoa the graveyard ain`t too beautiful,
But it will give you a home so long.
I wouldn`t mind dying,
Po` Lightnin` would just have to lay dead so long
Wouldn`t mind dying,
but I`d have to lay dead so long
That I wouldn`t have a chance to come back here and tell my friends,
No nobody, what is going on.
Told my baby, don`t worry if I die, darling,
I know I`m gonna leave your little bed warm
Don`t worry if po` Lightnin` lay down and die,
`Cause I`m gonna leave your little bed very warm
Whoa you know, I can`t worry when I`m dead and gone, but one thing,
Little girl, I know you is coming home. Send " Lonesome Graveyard" Ringtone to your Cell
