Intro: A I got this graveyard woman, you know she keeps my kid But my soulful mama, you know she keeps me hid E A She's a junkyard angel and she always gives me bread E A Well, if I go down dyin', you know she bound to put a blanket on my bed. A Well, when the pipeline gets broken and I'm lost on the river bridge I'm cracked up on the highway and on the water's edge E A She comes down the thruway ready to sew me up with thread E A Well, if I go down dyin', you know she bound to put a blanket on my bed. A 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 E A She keeps this four-ten all loaded with lead E A Well, if I go down dyin', you know she bound to put a blanket on my bed. A Well, you know I need a steam shovel mama to keep away the dead I need a dump truck mama to unload my head E A She brings me everything and more, and just like I said E A Well, if I go down dyin', you know she bound to put a blanket on my bed.
