The Districts - Funeral Beds Lyrics

These great fields are stretching
Taking me oh so far
These great fields are stretching
Savannah stretching oh so far

And this dry air is taking
My girl and it's oh so hard
And I wish I had a melody for a songbird to sing back my love

Oh my Savannah
Did it have to be so hard?
Oh my Savannah
Taking all my love and all my heart

Oh, tailor won't you make me
The finest suit so dark and black and grey
Oh, and old John won't you lend me
The finest gun your eyes have ever laid

The fastest bullet flying
Nobody never feel no pain
'Cause this plains they took my baby
And I'm gonna take her to the funeral beds to lay

Oh, and oh my Savannah
Did it have to be so hard?
Oh, and oh my Savannah
Taking all my love and all my heart

Oh no no
Oh no no
Oh no no

Oh no no
Oh no no
No no

And I'm struggling, and I'm stumbling
And I need to start
I'm struggling, and I'm stumbling
I need a friend

And I'm struggling, and I'm stumbling
I need you in my heart

Oh no no
Oh no no
No no

Oh, tailor won't you make me
The finest suit so dark and black and grey
And old John won't you lend me
The finest gun your eyes have ever laid

The fastest bullet flying
So quick nobody ever feel no pain
'Cause the plains they took my baby
Oh, and I'm gonna take you to the funeral beds to lay

Oh no no
Oh no no
Oh no no

Oh no no
Oh no no
No no no

And I'm struggling, and I'm stumbling
And I need to start
I'm struggling, and I'm stumbling
I need you in my heart

And I hate to say I love you
Ooh goddamn I love you, but
You know I do
But you're gone away, gone away, gone away

These great fields are stretching
Taking me oh so far
