Well that judge he found me guilty of wrong doing And he sentenced me to hang in mid July He look down at me and said you're lifes a ruin If I were you I'd break right down and cry But nobody seems to care that I ain't guilty 'Cause I never did the things they said I've done But I guess they're gonna have to hang somebody And It's lookin' like I'm goin to be the one [Chorus:] So send my body home on a freight train And don't worry none that I don't go first class Send my body home on a freight train So everyone can see me when I pass And don't worry none about no fancy funeral It don't matter how they lay me down Just see they bury me out by mama's apple tree And send my body back to my home town [Instrumental] My mama was one damn hard workin' woman She tried to raise us kids without a pa The last thing that she said she was on her dying bed Was son don't get in trouble with the law Whenever my time comes to meet my maker SongtexteI'm going to try to do my very best I'm going try to stand and take it like a man When they ask if I have one request [Chorus:] I'll just say ..... Send my body home on a freight train And don't worry none that I don't go first class Send my body home on a freight train So everyone can see me when I pass And don't worry none about no fancy funeral 'Cause it don't matter how they lay me down Just See they bury me out by mama's apple tree And send my body back to my home town Yes, just see they bury me out by mama's apple tree And send my body back to my home town...
