Текст песни «Fixin' to die»

I’m looking fooled in my mind, Lord I believe I’m fixing to die I’m looking fooled in my mind, Lord I believe I’m fixing to die Well, I ain’t scared of dying But I hate to leave my children crying Your mama treated me, children Like I was her baby child Your mama treated me, children Like I was her baby child That’s why I’ve tried so hard, children To come home to die So many nights by the fireside I heard my children’s mama cry So many nights by the fireside I heard my children’s mama cry That’s why I just could not tell her I had to say goodbye Oh take my children back before Before they lay me down Oh take my children back before Before they lay me down Don’t leave them standing On that burying ground
