Departed - The Bridge City Sinners

Oh, when I die, don’t you dress me in no flat top fancy shoes

Don’t let those motherfuckers play those goddamn Saint James blues

When I’m departed there won’t be doubt, you can burn my body down to the ground

When I’m departed I’m gone

Oh, when I die, don’t spend my money on no fancy clothes

I ain’t got much, so what’s the use in spending it all?

When I’m departed, yes, when I’m gone there won’t be nothin' left to sing my

songs

When I’m dparted I’m gone

They say that havens are above earth, but I don’t know

I’ve drowned my suffered soul in alcohol

They say that hell is down below, but so am I

Waiting for that crimson blood to ooze out of my eyes

When I die

They say that heavens are above earth, but I don’t know

I’ve drowned my suffered soul in alcohol

They say that hell is down below, but so am I

Waiting for that crimson blood to ooze out of my eyes

When I die!

Oh, when I die don’t waste your fleeting time weakening over me

Crying all that love that clearly wasn’t meant to be

When I’m departed, yes, when I’m gone, my heart gone cold, my race been run

When I’m departed, deerly departed

As y’all brokenhearted, when I’m departed I’m gone
