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 bible’s 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
