My spirit will go back to the Lord
And my body will go back to the Earth
Feed the flowers and the trees and the dirt
For all it's worth
To the oceans and the rivers and the dirt
My fingers that are strumming this verse
My voice that sings these words that I worked
For all it's worth
Many years on when I'm grey and old
And my kin have found their ways through the world
My spirit will go back on to the Lord
As my body crumbles back to the Earth
Now don't get scared, sick, sad or cold
Might someday soon my soul return
Then dance on, right on, back on to the Lord
As my body, becomes dirt
Becomes dirt
Becomes dirt
Becomes dirt
Silver blue eyes, speaks like an Angel
Her golden ringlet hair
But in my demise
The one that I speak of
Was my best life's affair
She led me down South, to black lands down under
I saw them fire plume gates
She led me up North to white lands of wonder
I sealed my pearly fate, it's too late now
