I've got a man I had for you But he just won't treat me right.
Enough me silly with a rock in jail All I say, I want night But he done got my gold Because he told me to my face that he's done for some gala, you for both, and he's done taking my place.
Somebody open up his eyes, called that he's graveyard word. And I'll show him before he dies, that him is graveyard word. I can see them now take us One flower longed old and a crab lost one Where he never come back no more Tell him that I'm fixing Show his tune to his fore
All him is graveyard word Oh, and tell him that he's only dying. Oh, Jim is graveyard. Please don't let me lose my rightful mind. Oh, Jim is graveyard-ward. And on solids of my system, My reason's sharpened to, you think the world I've felt only when my dirty work is due Tell him that I'll do just what I said I'll do
Oh, let me scream your words you
That was the 60-second preview
