Work Song Lyrics:

[Intro]
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

[Verse 1]
Boys workin' on empty
Is that the kinda way to face the burnin' heat?
I just think about my baby
I'm so full of love, I could barely eat
There's nothin' sweeter than my baby
I'd never want once from the cherry tree
'Cause my baby's sweet as can be
She'd give me toothaches just from kissin' me

[Chorus]
When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold, dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her

[Verse 2]
Boys, when my baby found me
I was three days on a drunken sin
I woke with her walls around me
Nothin' in her room but an empty crib
And I was burnin' up a fever
I didn't care much how long I lived
But I swear, I thought I dreamed her
She never asked me once about the wrong I did

[Chorus]
When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold, dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her
When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold, dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her

[Verse 3]
My babe would never fret none
About what my hands and my body done
If the Lord don't forgive me
I'd still have my baby and my babe would have me
When I was kissin' on my baby
And she put her love down, soft and sweet
In the low lamplight, I was free
Heaven and hell were words to me

[Chorus]
When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold, dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her
When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold, dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her

"no grave can hold my body down ill crawl home to her" the type of love i want to receive and give

[heatherbenefield]

This song is the true love we all dream about having, feeling, giving, receiving, or at least witnessing amongst others. It's truly beautiful ❤

[oliviafreitag-yddz]

i lay and replay this song over and over some nights. this song helps me feel at peace sometimes. i hope when i go people will think of me when they hear this.

[taylorcornell]

My husband recently passed away and he was the love of my life our vows were for this life and the next I had been with him off and on since I was 12 more so on never been apart more than 6 months I'm now a 23 years old and even when I wanted him to leave me alone but he always said I could never leave you alone and I still believe he hasn't

[AmberBurnett-hn]

It’s beautiful how this means different things to different people. I thought of my oldest daughter, our relationship is strained and I shed so many tears during this song.❤

[supermanmiles]

i dont even know how many years later at this point but i have never heard a song that makes me feel
something/anything in the slightest as close to this, and i love it

[foxy_codone]

This is the kinda love I have and I'm so grateful

[blastisekd]

My ex sent this to me,
“ I wanted you to feel this way about me.”
Because of her, I can now say I’m happy I’m still alive. I no longer hate what my existence is.
I miss you charity. I’ll crawl back home in your arms again someday.

[kevinbrooks]

2:47 is a fucking powerful verse man damn it goes so incredibly hard

[BrendaToland]

[graciesdivine]

“at least bury me under an old oak so I’d have to fight.”

[MyAnne-lydg]

[puptheprincess]

My love dedicated this song to me .. He is the very reason I was created . So I could be his baby 🩷

Boys, workin' on empty
Is that the kinda way to face the burning heat?
I just think about my baby
I'm so full of love I could barely eat
There's nothing sweeter than my baby
I'd never want once from the cherry tree
'Cause my baby's sweet as can be
She give me toothaches just from kissin' me
When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold, dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her
Boys, when my baby found me
I was three days on a drunken sin
I woke with her walls around me
Nothin' in her room but an empty crib
And I was burnin' up a fever
I didn't care much how long I lived
But I swear I thought I dreamed her
She never asked me once about the wrong I did
When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold, dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her
When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold, dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her
My babe would never fret none
About what my hands and my body done
If the Lord don't forgive me
I'd still have my baby and my babe would have me
When I was kissing on my baby
And she put her love down soft and sweet
In the low lamplight I was free
Heaven and hell were words to me
When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold, dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her
When my time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold, dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her

I just lost my husband to a a od on Feb 26 off 2024 we were together 17 years this brings goose bumps

[quettelyjacques]

[christopherdempsey]

When I met my wife we were both partying with every drug and then after that first night I said I would love her forever. 5 years sober and we had a sweet baby girl and my two boys and her 2 girls have such a loving and sweet life. Always crazy and always beautiful. This song has me crying

[Idksomeclevermetaphor]

I pray he loves you, that he appreciates you in all your beauty and that he holds you tight every night, that he writes you poems about how you are more beautiful than any sunrise. That when you walk into a room everything vanishes for him aside from you, that the way you smile or smirk becomes his world, that your eyes like the ocean drown him, that he cherishes the way your hair feels on his shoulder when he holds you, that he does everything I still do and more. I knew your love for such a short time but it became my everything and for years I've kept it where my heart should be, just to experience it again. Now every inch of you is burnt into my brain and your name is branded on my soul. I know I'll never love anyone else like this for as long as i live. I was a nice experience but you, you are everything and more. I'll always love you
