*Lyrics*
(Part 1)
Feeling funny in my mind, Lord
I believe I'm fixin' to die
Feeling funny in my mind, Lord
I believe I'm fixin' to die
Well, I don't mind dying
But I hate to leave my children crying
Look over yonder
to that burying ground
Look over yonder
to that burying ground
Just seems lonesome, Lord
When the sun goes down
(Part 2)
Feeling funny in my eyes, Lord
I believe I'm fixin' to die
Feeling funny in my eyes, Lord
I believe I'm fixin' to die
Well, I don't mind dying
But I hate to leave my children crying
Well, I don't mind dying
But I hate to leave my children crying
There's black smoke rising, Lord
It's rising up above my head
Up above my head
There's black smoke rising, Lord
It's rising up above my head
Up above my head
(Part 3)
I'm walking kind of funny, Lord
I believe I'm fixin' to die
I'm walking kind of funny, Lord
I believe I'm fixin' to die
