I got this graveyard woman you know she keeps my kid
But my soulful mama you know she keeps me hid
S he's a junkyard angel and she always gives me bread
W ell if I go down dyin' you know she bound to put a blanket on my be d.
W ell when the pipeline gets broken and I'm lost on the river bridge
I'm cracked up on the highway and on the water's edge
S he comes down the thruway ready to sew me up with th read
W ell if I go down dyin' you know she bound to put a blanket on my bed .
W ell she don't make me nervous she don't talk too much
She walks like Bo Diddley and she don't need no crutch
S he keeps this four-ten all loaded with lea d
W ell if I go down dyin' you know she bound to put a blanket on my bed .
W ell you know I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead
I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
S he brings me everything and more and just like I sa id
W ell if I go down dyin' you know she bound to put a blanket on my bed.
