lyrics

Come gather round good people
Make your peace before I'm gone
It's all just temporary
So don't you go takin' it wrong
Cause hell couldn't make me do right
Heaven couldn't make me stay
So give me just a few fine people
In the yard when it comes my day

When I leave you with the livin', girl
You carry on, don't cry
No more tears of sadness
Hold your darlin' head up high
Cause you loved me through the hard times
Never did complain
So give me just a few fine people
In the yard when it comes my day


Give just a few fine people in the yard when it comes my day
Have a cheers for the hard times
Plant me in the clay
Give me just a few fine people before we're called away
Give me just a few fine people in the yard when it comes my day

Pass that glass of whiskey before I shrivel up and die
We're all bound to hit that perfect note up in the sky
And I done what all I came for, there's nothing left to say
So give me just a few fine people in the yard when it comes my day

I've got to meet with Jesus and I'm tryin' to make time
There's nothin' that can save me cause all of us are dyin'
But it sure has been a blast boys, much as I'd love to stay
Give me just a few fine people in the yard when it comes my day

Give me just a few fine people in the yard when it comes my day
Have a cheers for the hard times
Plant me in the clay
Gimme just a few fine people before we're called away
Gimme just a few fine people in the yard when it comes my day
