The Wages of Sin - Lay Me Down

See the walls rise up around me
Lay me down boys, lay me down
Let the loving sod fall o'er me
Lay me down boys in the ground
I don't pray for gold or silver
Lay me down boys...
Just a drink of cold clear water
Lay me down boys...
Lay me down beneath the heather
Candles at my head and feet
Let the world burn down around me
As you sow so shall ye reap

Fell in love with the cobbler's daughter
Lay me down boys...
Led me like a lamb to slaughter
Lay me down boys...
So raise a glass to Gene and Eddie
Lay me down boys...
Before rock and roll got pretty
Lay me down boys...
Lay me down beneath the heather...

With a belly full of hate, I will curse the gathering storm
With a bone-deep chill no jug of wine can warm
Bless me father I'm a sinner
Lay me down boys...
Booze for breakfast, lunch, and dinner
Lay me down boys...
So here's to all you rotten b******s
Lay me down boys...
Go kiss the a** of your new master
Lay me down boys...

Lay me down beneath the heather...
