he told him this
You may bury me in the east,

D
But I'll hear that trumpet

sound in the morning
D
Yes, yes, in the morning,
this evening,
brothers and sisters,
G
I come to you in a holiness

to tell you just how he died.
Yes, he died, he's dead.

covering the ground.

closed and went down.

No liars can go, and no cheaters can go,
it's no debit to detain us,
and no hard cash
to bring us back.
Ain't we got a new land?
G
Ain't we got a new land?

that it is a Hamlin gun,
time had come,

gone with the booze,
shot a Lincoln dead,
D
with a filter blast to the head.
