I'm dead and I'm done by the heat of the sun
and I'll rest my hat in an Autumn field
and I'll hang my hat in an Autumn field
In an Autumn field
Tell my momma not to worry
The food is sweet and the weather's been sunny
and I'm well known roundabout
The local pick pocket is a layabout
Tell my daddy oh there's no need for washing
They do it in your sleep when you're not watching
I've already had the neighbors here
Johnny Cash came around and we split a beer
I'm dead and done by the heat of the sun
and I'll rest my hat in an Autumn field
and I'll hang my hat in an Autumn field
In an Autumn field
The girls up here sure look swell
They sing like birds, I hear it's nothing like hell
The local priest says there's no need for cheatin'
The local wags call it meetin' and a greetin'
I'm dead and I'm done by the heat of the sun
and I'll rest my hat in an Autumn field
and I'll hang my hat in an Autumn field.
