Lay My Body Down

So I came all the way from Trenton, spent a full night at the station
 In a suitcase made of Calico Brown
 Now I'm almost out of money and I'm sleepy and hungry
 I wanna lay my body down
 I don't wanna cause trouble, I don't need a bath of bubbles
 Just a floorboard for the pavement on the ground
 I'll take a steeple or a stable or a dining room table
 Just to lay my body down
 Lay, lay my body down
 Lay, lay my body down
 So I go back to see my baby, since no other place'll take me
 When I stop to brush my hair back with a comb
 I can almost see our porch light and it's shining like a northern light
 God how I wanna be home
 To lay, lay my body down
 Lay, lay my body down, oh
 But some joke from Albuquerque with some white wine and a turkey
 Came to entertain my girl while I was gone
 This bear thinks everything is funny, he's got his paws into my honey
 Then he lay her body down
 Just as every schoolyard has a teacher, every chapel has a preacher
 Every angry man has 6 shells to a round
 Oh, I've been an honest man, I've walked as straight as I can
 I'm gonna lay his body down
 Lay, lay his body down
 Lay, lay his body down
 Lay, lay his body down
 Lay, lay his body down
