No Headstone on My Grave Songtext
von Jerry Lee Lewis

Don′t put no headstone on my grave
All my life I've been a slave
Want the whole wide world to know
Here lies the man that loved you so

Mama, mama, don′t you cry
Mama, don't you cry
I'm gonna meet you in the by and by, in the sweet by and by
Tell papa, I′m comin′ home, comin' on home
God, it can′t be very long

Don't put no headstone on my grave
All my life I′ve been a slave
Want the whole wide world to know
Here lies the stud that loved you so

M, m, m, m, m, m mama don't you cry
Lord, I′m gonna meet you in the by and by, in the sweet by and by
Tell papa, I'm coming home, coming home
Oh God, it can't be very long


Don′t put no headstone on my grave
Whoa, all my life I′ve been a slave, motherhumpin' slave
And you know something? I want the world to know
Here lies a stud that loved that woman so

Mama, mama, don′t you cry, mama, don't cry
I′m gonna meet you in the by and by, in the sweet by and by
Tell papa, I'm coming home, oh Lord
You know, it can′t be very long
One more time now

Don't put a headstone on my grave
All my life I've been a slave
I want the whole wide world to know
Here lies a I′m the man
That loved
That loved

And don′t put no headstone on my grave
All my life I've been your slave, whoa
I want the whole wide world to know
Here lies the stud that loved you so

Ma-ma-ma-ma mama, don′t you cry, whooh! don't cry!
I′m-a-gonna meet you in the by and by, in the sweet by and by
Tell papa, I'm coming home, coming on home


And you know something, ladies?
Oh God, it can′t be very long
Don't put no headstone on my grave
I want a monument, this is The Killer speakin', darling
