Well, they tell me the graveyard
Is a low-down dirty place
Well, they tell me the graveyard
Oh, Sam, oh, Lord
Is a low-down dirty place
They take you way down the graveyard
Yes, they will, man
Lord, they throw dirt in your face
Yes, I know
Well, I want my body buried
Lord, way down in Shady Grove
I want my body buried
Way down in Shady Grove
'Cause these blues and whiskey, God knows
Oh, Lord, have been the death of me
Yes, I know
Well, they tell me the graveyard
Lord, is a low-down dirty place
Lord, they take you down there, you know
And you know, and pound dirt in your face
Last night I went and laid down
I wasn't feelin' so good
Lord, I'd been drinkin' all day, God knows
And all the next night before
I said, "Lord, if I die, people"
Yes, yes
"Shove my body way down in Shady Grove"
Way back down in Alabam'
God knows where poor Slim belongs
