Sweet Heaven When I Die Songtext

von Doc Watson

Beefsteak when I'm hungry, whiskey when I'm dry.
Greenbacks when I'm hard-up and sweet heaven when I die.
[Verse 1]
When I was down in that old jailhouse my friends just walked on by.
Nobody came ‘round to see about me an I couldn't help but wonder why.
Choirs
Break
[Verse 2]
Pappy was a ramblin' man, he gambled from town to town.
I'm gona be a rambler boys, ain't never gona settle down.
Choirs
Break
[Verse 3]
Hold me when I'm sad and blue, oh baby, kiss me when I cry.
All I want is a pretty little girl to love me ‘til the day that I die,
Choirs
End:
Sweet heaven when I die.
