Oh, that last long ride is a
Ride everybody must take.
Yes, that last long ride’s a
Ride everybody must take.
And that final stop is a
Stop everybody must make.
When they put you in the ground and
They throw dirt in your face,
I say put you in the ground and
Throw dirt in your face,
That’s one time, pretty papa,
You’ll sure stay in your place.
You was a mighty lover and you
Ruled me many years.
A mighty lover, baby, cause you
Ruled me many years —
If I live to be a thousand
I’ll never dry these tears.
I don’t want nobody else and
Don’t nobody else want me.
I say don’t want nobody else
And don’t nobody else want me-
Yet you never can tell when a
Woman like me is free!
