From the recording Crooked Road
Lyrics
Lay me down beside my love
Lay me down beside my love
A love that has my heart
And I will know we kept the vows
We made right from the start
I met her on a mountain top
On a springtime day so fine
I picked a bunch of wildwood flowers
In hopes she would be mine
Chorus
So lay us down in the old church yard
For all the world to see
Then they will know of our true love
Through all eternity
An alter in the little church
Where she became my wife
We sang the songs and made the vows
To start a brand new life
Seasons come and seasons go
The years keep rolling by
We made a little family
In a cabin up on high
Chorus
So lay us down in the old church yard
For all the world to see
Then they will know of our true love
Through all eternity
Time had passed we both were grey
The children had all gone
But all the time we kept the vow
We knew our love was strong
I lost her just a year ago
Was in the month of June
I told her not to worry so
For I would be there soon
Chorus
So lay me down in the old church yard
With her right next to me
And they will know of our true love
Through all eternity
And they will know of our true love
Through all eternity
