When You Come For Me by H.C. McEntire Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lay me down easy
In the valley or the pines
The Green River gorge
Above the South Carolina line

[Verse 2]
Fields filled with gold and
Junkyards and the rows
Lay me down easy
When it's my time to go

[Chorus]
When you come for me
Let the mountains hold my bones
There's a place for me
Let me lie down with you in the cove

[Verse 3]
Mama I dreamed that
I had no hand to hold
And the land I cut my teeth on
Wouldn't let me call it home
[Verse 4]
So lay me down easy
In the valley or the pines
Tell me that you'll be there waiting
Standing in the light

[Chorus]
When you come for me
Let the mountains hold my bones
There's a place for me
Let me lie down with you in the cove

When you come for me
Let the mountains hold my bones
There's a place for me
Let me lie down with you in the cove

Oh, when you come for me
Let the mountains hold my bones
There's a place for me
Let me lie down with you in the cove
