I dont want no fancy coffin
Dont lay me in no marble shrine
When I leave this god almighty earth
Wont you lay me in a box of pine
Ive had my share of women
Had more than my share of wine
When I leave this god almighty earth
Wont you lay me in a box of pine
Ill walk this earth till my last dying day
I want to leave this earth in a righteous way
I rose from the ashes in the bibles word I trust
I want to go back to the ashes, want to go back to the dust
A hard rain fell this morning
Yesterday the sun did shine
When I leave this god almighty earth
Wont you lay me in a box of pine
Ill walk this earth till my last dying day
I want to leave this earth in a righteous way
I rose from the ashes in the bibles word I trust
I want to go back to the ashes, want to go back to the dust
I dont want no fancy coffin
Dont lay me in no marble shrine
When I leave this god almighty earth
Wont you lay me in a box of pine
