Send My Body Home On A Freight Train lyrics

Well that judge he found me guilty of wrong doing
He sentenced me to hang in mid-july
He look down at me and said you are a ruin
If i were you i`d break right down and cry
But nobody seems to care that i ain`t guilty
I never did the things they said i`ve done
But it looks like they`re gonna to hang somebody
And it`s lookin like i`m goin to be the one


Chorus,


(so just) send my body home on a freight train
And don`t worry none that i don`t go first class
Send my body home on a freight train
So everyone can see me when i pass
And don`t worry none about no fancy funeral



It don`t matter how they lay me down
See they bury me out by mama`s apple tree
And just send my body back to my home town

Verse 2

My mama was one damn hard workin woman
She tried to raise us kids without a pa
The last thing that she said she was on her dying bed
Was boy don`t get in trouble with the law
Well whenever my time comes to meet my maker
I`m going to try to do my very best
I`m going to stand and take it like a man
When they ask if i have one request

I`ll say .....(repeat chorus)
