OriginalLay this body down - June Tabor (1983)
LAY THIS BODY DOWN

Been a long time travelling here below
Been a long time travelling
Here on my own
Been a long time travelling here below
Going to lay this body down
Oh starlight, oh starlight
I'm walking through the starlight
Lay this body down
I see the moonlight
I'm walking through the moonlight
Lay this body down
Oh graveyard, oh graveyard
I'm walking through the graveyard
Lay this body down
I lie in the grave
I'm lying in the graveyard

Lay this body down
Lay this body down
Lay this body down
Lay this body down
Lay this body down

I go to judgement
In the evening of the day
Lay this body down
My soul and your soul
Will meet on that day
Lay this body down
Oh graveyard, oh graveyard
I'm walking through that graveyard
Lay this body down
Lay this body down
My soul and your soul
Will meet on that day
I see moonlight
Walking to the moonlight
Lay this body down
LAY THIS BODY DOWN

Oh graveyard, oh graveyard
I'm walking through the graveyard
Lay this body down
I see the starlight
I'm walking through the starlight
Lay this body down
I see the moonlight
I'm walking through the moonlight
Lay this body down
I lie in the grave
I'm lying in the graveyard
Lay this body down
I go to judgement
In the evening of the day
Lay this body down
My soul and your soul
Will meet on that day
Lay this body down
Oh graveyard, oh graveyard
I'm walking through that graveyard
Lay this body down
