Pennies on His Eyes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
With a broken neck we took him and laid him down to rest
(something?) at dawn it's worse and we had done our best
He looked just like my love but his soul had been set free
I hope in heaven he will wait for me
And in an empty parlor we said our last goodbyes
I prayed for our salvation and put those pennies on his eyes
And nobody was watching no one but God could see
I hope in heaven he will wait for me
I hope in heaven he will wait for me
Along with all the paupers and the kings
I hope in heaven he will wait for me
Meanwhile I'll drown and drink to meet him speedily
And when at last we buried him deep in (?) field
And the ground I placed a wreath
and on the dirt I kneeled
And then I crawled into my bed and cried until i could sleep
I hope in heaven he will wait for me
I hope in heaven he will wait for me
Along with all the paupers and the kings
I hope in heaven he will wait for me
Meanwhile I'll drown and drink to meet him speedily
Meanwhile I'll drown and drink
