On His Way to Dyin‘ Lyrics by Deep Chatham

Flood

2013

[Verse 1]
Blues got to the wallet
They‘d said he lost his mind
Mad as a hatter
And he's drinkin‘ himself blind
Drinkin‘ himself blind, Lord
Drinkin‘ himself blind
Mad as a hatter
And he’s drinkin‘ himself blind
[Verse 2]
I'm goin‘ down to Nashville
My heart‘s in Caroline
Goin‘ to Appalachia
With trouble on my mind
Trouble on my mind, Lord
Trouble on my mind
Goin‘ to Appalachia
With trouble on my mind
[Chorus]
So come around now, darling
Come and stand by me
Night grows short
And tomorrow I must leave
Broken home ain't no place to live
Broken heart ain’t nothin‘ to give
Whistlin‘ through the wind and snow
Whistlin‘ through the pines
Hope it breaks your heart to know
He's on his way to dyin‘
On his way to dyin‘, Lord
On his way to dyin‘
Hope it breaks your heart to know
He's on his way to dyin‘
On his way to dyin‘
[Verse 3]
I'm goin‘ to Louisiana
I'm packin‘ up my gun
Ain't goin‘ in for trouble
But I'll die before I run
Die before I run, Lord
Die before I run
Ain't goin‘ in for trouble
But I’ll die before I run
[Verse 4]
Drink good corn whiskey
To pass the time of day
Lookin‘ down his gun
[?], there’ll be the day
There'll be the day, Lord
There’ll be the day
Lookin‘ down his gun
[?], there‘ll be the day
[Verse 5]
Woke up in the mornin‘
All laid out on the floor
Pockets lined with silver
And the police at his door
Police at his door, Lord
Police at his door
Woke up in the mornin‘
With the police at his door
Police at his door
[Chorus]
So come around now, darling
Come and stand by me
Night grows short
And tomorrow I must leave
Broken home ain't no place to live
Broken heart ain't nothin‘ to give
Whistlin‘ through the wind and snow
Whistlin‘ through the pines
Hope it breaks your heart to know
He's on his way to dyin‘
On his way to dyin‘, Lord
On his way to dyin‘
Hope it breaks your heart to know
He’s on his way to dyin‘
On his way to dyin‘
