A Desolate Angel’s Blues Lyrics by Justin Townes Earle

Yuma

0

Oh well tonight when I lay me down
Oh well lord I'm going home
Back to that river, back to my brother, oh lord
I may no longer be alone
Now in my life I've, I've had few comforts
And ones I did I pushed aside
But now I'm going back home to Jesus, oh lord
Drowning in the river wide
I've had some friends out on this road
Who have given me a helping hand
Oh and I know I, I can't repay them oh lord
But I know they will understand
So gather round, boys, this here's the last time
You're gonna see me in one piece
So put a kiss upon my lips, oh boys
And then send me off to sleep
Oh well tonight when I lay me down
Oh well lord I'm going home
Back to that river, back to my brother, oh lord
I may no longer be alone
I may no longer be alone
I may no longer be alone
