From a Buick 6

[Verse 1]

I got this graveyard woman, you know

She keeps my kids

But my soulful mama, you know

She keeps me hid

She’s a junkyard angel, and she

Always gives me bread

[Chorus]

Well, if I go down dyin', you know

She bound to put a blanket on my bed

[Verse 2]

Well, when the pipeline gets broken

And I'm lost on the river bridge

I’m all cracked up on the highway

And in the water’s edge

Here again she comes, down the thruway

Ready to sew me up with a thread

[Chorus]

Well, if I go down dyin', you know

She bound to put a blanket on my bed

[Verse 3]

Well, she don’t make me nervous

She don’t talk too much

She walks like Bo Diddley

And she don’t need no crutch

She keeps this .410

All loaded with lead

[Chorus]

Well, if I go down dyin', you know

She bound to put a blanket on my bed

[Bridge]

Come on!

[Verse 4]

Well, you know I

Need a steam shovel, mama, to

Keep away the dead

I need a dump truck, baby, to

Unload my head

She brings me everything and more

And just like I said

[Chorus]

Well, if I go down dyin', you know

She bound to put a blanket on my bed
