Cypress Grove Lyrics - Roll Away The Stone - Kelly Joe Phelps

I'd rather be buried way down in some cypress grove 

I'd rather be buried way down in some cypress grove 

To have me a woman that I can't control 

Your knee-bone gon' aching and your body sure getting cold 

Knee-bone gon' ache and your body sure getting cold 

And you're just getting ready for some cypress grove 

The old people, they try to tell me but I never did know 

Old people, they try to tell me but, Lord, I never did know 

The good book is sure gonna tell you, you got to reap what you sow 

"Girl", I've told you, "I know I'd been lying" 

"Enough", I told you, told you, "I know I'd been lying" 

Come through me, now, I'm dying 

I'd rather be lying six feet down in the ground 

I'd rather be lying six feet down in the ground 

Than be way up here and let you throw me down 

Take back what you give, take back, that's all so hard, so hard to live 

Take back, now, take back what you give, that's so hard to live 

We're going 

I'd rather be lying in some more cypress grove
