Dead and Done

Heaven is a place where people die pretty*
 Skies don't lie and there's cash in the kitty
 Running from the rocks, there's wanter for the lips
 To ease your mouth and bathe your fist
 There's no need for trouble when the roads are down
 Nobody's out of work cause the mine's in town
 The circus has been twice already
 Ny throwing arm is good and my heart is steady
 I'm dead and done by the heat of the sun
 I'll rest my hat in an Autumn field
 I'll hang my hat in an Autumn field
 Tell my momma not to worry
 The food is sweet and the weather's been sunny
 And I'm well known here round-a-bout
 The local pick pocket is a lay-about
 Tell my daddio there's no need for washing
 They do it in your sleep when you're not watching
 I've already had the neighbors here
 Johnny Cash came around we split a beer
 The girls up here sure look swell
 They sing like birds, I hear it's nothing like hell
 The local priest says there's no need for cheatin'
 The local wags call it meetin' and a-greetin'
