lyrics

If I should fall from grace with God
Where no doctor can relieve me
If I'm buried in the sod
But the angels won't receive me
Let me go, boys, let me go, boys
Let me go down in the mud, where the rivers all run dry

This land was always ours
It was the proud land of our fathers
It belongs to us and them
Not to any of the others
Let them go, boys, let them go, boys
Let them go down in the mud, where the rivers all run dry

Bury me at sea
Where no murdered ghost can haunt me
If I rock upon the waves
And no corpse can lie upon me
Let me go, boys, let me go, boys
Let me go down in the mud, where the rivers all run dry

If I should fall from grace with God
Where no doctor can relieve me
If I'm buried in the sand
But the angels won't receive me
Let me go, boys, let me go, boys
Let me go down in the mud, where the rivers all run dry
