Them's Graveyard Words

Lyrics

I've got a man
 I had for a year
 But he just won't treat me right
 He knocked me silly with a rocking chair
 'Cause I stayed out one night
 But he done got my coat
 'Cause he told me to my face
 That he's done bought some girl a new fur coat
 And she's done taken my place
 Won't somebody open up his eyes?
 'Cause that is graveyard words
 And I'll show him before he dies
 That them is graveyard words
 I can see the undertaker putting flowers on doors
 And a traveler going where he never come back no more
 Tell him that I'll fix him sure as two and two is four
 'Cause them is graveyard words
 Go and tell him that he's slowly dying
 Oh them is graveyard words
 Please don't let me lose my rightful mind
 'Cause them is graveyard words
 I done polished up my pistol
 My razor's sharpened too
 He'll think the world done fell on him
 When my dirty work is through
 Tell him that I'll do just what I said I'd do
 Oh them is graveyard words
