From the tall grass down the main road
Oh, I lay down for my baby
Well, I lay there till the midnight
I can follow, I do, I do
Now see them coming to my wedding
When the dogs, they run through town
Though I left my heart untrue
Where I will teach them not to stray
And I never lay back down
And I can name them in my dreaming
I can chain them to my body
Oh, they'll carry my salvation
And I set my soul to search
Let them settle at my breast
And I rose up just to listen
Lord my shepard help me pray
And let the sweet smoke stain my heels
To the stained glass at the church
Though I left my heart to stray
Then the morning, it came upon me
I can set my soul to rest
