My old Devil, here's my goodbye Let you down and let you go My old Devil, may your Angels Let you rest Heard you Mama, heard you moaning Heard you whisper my name in the wind Heard you Mama, heard you Mama But don't you cry Hold on, don't waste that tear Soon the heartache will disappear When I lay down in the dirt When I lay down in the dirt Heard 'em church bells, heard 'em ringing For that someone I don't know Still together in grateful silence I bow my head Heard you whisper, may your trying Still it's so hard to see your face in mine My old Devil, I brought some flowers To your mortal home Hold on, still I am near Like the birds you know I have so dear When I lay down in the dirt When I lay down in the dirt Oh no, no need for fear Still it's cold, dark and silent here Down here in the dirt Down here in the dirt
