WRITER CHARLIE RICH

Don't put no headstone on my grave,
|
All my life I've been a slave,
|
Want the whole wide world to know,
|
That I'm the man that loved you so
|
Mama, mama, don't you cry,
|
I'm gonna meet you in the by and by, in the sweet by and by
|
Tell papa I'm comin' home, comin' on home,
|
God, it can't be very long
|
Don't put no headstone on my grave,
|
All my life I've been a slave,
|
Want the whole wide world to know,
|
That I'm the stud that loved you so
|
M,m,m,m,m,m mama don't you cry,
|
Lord, I'm gonna meet you in the by and by, in the sweet by and by
|
Tell papa I'm coming home,
|
Oh God, it can't be very long
|
Don't put no headstone on my grave,
|
Whoooh! All my life I've been a slave, motherhumpin' slave
|
And you know something? I want the world to know,
|
That I'm the stud that loved that woman so
|
