fixin' to die blues

feeling funny in my mind

lord

i believe i'm fixing to die

fixing to die

feeling funny in my mind

lord

i believe i'm fixing to die

well

i don't mind dying

but i hate to leave my children crying

well

i look over yonder to that burying ground

look over yonder to that burying ground

sure seems lonesome

lord

when the sun goes down

feeling funny in my eyes

lord

i believe i'm fixing to die

fixing to die

feeling funny in my eyes

lord

i believe i'm fixing to die

well

i don't mind dying but

i hate to leave my children crying

there's a black smoke rising

lord

it's rising up above my head

up above my head

it's rising up above my head

up above my head

and tell jesus make up my dying bed

i'm walking kind of funny

lord

i believe i'm fixing to die

fixing to die

yes i'm walking kind of funny

lord

i believe i'm fixing to die

fixing to die

fixing to die

well

i don't mind dying

but i hate to leave my children crying
