Departed lyrics

Oh, when I die, don't you dress me in no flat top fancy shoes Don't let those motherfuckers play those goddamn Saint James blues When I'm departed there won't be doubt You can burn my body down to the ground When I'm departed I'm gone Oh, when I die, don't spend my money on no fine thread fancy clothes I ain't got much, so what's the use in spending it all? When I'm departed, yes, when I'm gone There won't be nothin' left to sing my songs When I'm departed I'm gone They say that heaven's up above, but I don't know I've drowned my suffered soul in alcohol They say that hell is down below, but so am I Waiting for that crimson blood to ooze out of my eyes When I die! They say that heaven's up above, but I don't know I've drowned my suffered soul in alcohol They say that hell is down below, but so am I Waiting for that crimson blood to ooze out of my eyes When I die! Oh, when I die don't waste your fleeting time weeping over me Crying all that love that clearly wasn't meant to be When I'm departed, yes, when I'm gone My heart gone cold, my race been run When I'm departed, dearly departed So brokenhearted When I'm departed I'm gone
