Lyrics and Music by Andrew Hozier-Byrne


Eb5   F5  
Mmmm, mmmm,
Eb5   F5  
Mmmm, mmmm,
Eb5   F5  
Mmmm, mmmm,
Eb5  
Mmmm.

Eb5   F5  
Mmmm, mmmm,
Eb5   F5  
Mmmm, mmmm,
Eb5   F5  
Mmmm, mmmm,
Eb5  
Mmmm.

Eb5                    F5  
Boys working on empty,
   Eb5  
Is that the kind of way
                          F5  
To face the burning heat?
Eb5                         F5  
I just think about my baby,
    Eb5  
I’m so full of love,
I could barely eat.

Eb5                                   F5  
There’s nothing sweeter than my baby.
    Eb5                                  F5  
I’d never want once from the cherry tree
Eb5                           F5  
’Cause my baby’s sweet as can be,
    Eb5  
She give me toothaches
Just from kissing me.

Chorus:
   Cm       Bb7            Eb
     When my time comes around,
                                     Fm
     Lay me gently in the cold, dark earth.
   Cm             Bb7
     No grave can hold my body down,
   Eb
     I’ll crawl home to her.

That’s when my baby found me,
I was three days
On a drunken sin.
I woke with her walls around me,
Nothing in her room
But an empty crib.

And I was burning 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.

My baby 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.

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.
