Funeral Beds - The Districts

These great fields are stretching

Taking me oh so far

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

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

And i’m gonna take her to the funeral beds to lay

And oh my savannah

Did it have to be so hard?

Oh my savannah

Taking all my love and all my heart

Oh no no… x3

And i’m struggling, and I’m stumbling

And i need to start

And I’m struggling, and I’m stumbling

I need a friend

I’m struggling, and i’m stumbling

I need you in my heart

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

And i’m gonna take her to the funeral beds to lay

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

I hate to say i love you

But oh goddamn i love you

You know i do

But you’re gone away, gone away, gone away

These great fields are stretching

Taking me oh so far
