I haven't been sad now   For so many years   With no foe to fight   Death's all I feared   'Cause death could take you   Death could take you   And that's just what it do   That's just what it do      A bird in my ear   Was beaking away   About all the jewels   He'd come across that day   Jewels in the grass   Jewels in the grass   Where the worms used to be   Where the worms used to be      The cattle were lowing   They cried for your feet   The clouds were your arches   The cows were asleep   And they spoke of you   They spoke of you   As they laid there and mooed   As they lay there and "moo"      The house walls are tighter   The bed it is small   Housing just one soul   Just one soul at all   Where it once held two   It once held two   Now it doesn't hold you   Now it doesn't hold you      The ride and I won't be   Towards working today   That's good, that's over   You are away   And now I'll undo   Now I'll undo   That's just what I'll do   That's just what I'll do
