Sweet Heaven When I Die Lyrics - Riding The Midnight Train - Doc Watson

Beefsteak when I'm hungry, whiskey when I'm dry. 

Greenbacks when I'm hard-up and sweet heaven when I die. 

Verse 1: 

When I was down in that old jailhouse my friends just walked on by. 

Nobody came 'round to see about me an I couldn't help but wonder why. 

Choirs 

Break 

Verse 2: 

Pappy was a ramblin' man, he gambled from town to town. 

I'm gona be a rambler boys, ain't never gona settle down. 

Choirs 

Break 

Verse 3: 

Hold me when I'm sad and blue, oh baby, kiss me when I cry. 

All I want is a pretty little girl to love me 'til the day that I die, 

Choirs 

End: 

Sweet heaven when I die.
