When I got there, she layin' on the coolin' floor.

You know I walked up close, looked down in her face, said good old girl, got to lay her

adjournment there.

I said I walked up close, I said I looked down in her face.

You know I looked like ten thousand people was standin' round the buryin' ground.

I didn't know I loved her until I laid her down, looked like ten thousand, standin' round

the buryin' ground.

You know I didn't know I didn't love her until I began to lay her down.

I didn't have a soul to throw my arms around.

You know it's so hard to love someone that don't love you.

Don't look like a satisfaction, never care what you do.
