Take Me to the Graveyard lyrics
by Jesse Welles
[Chorus]
Take me to the graveyard, let me see the stones
If today ain't the day, I know I'll go later on
Take me to the graveyard, really wanna go
Talk to the departed, tell me what you know
[Verse 1]
Oh grandpappa
I wish I would've listened
Someday, I'm gonna hug you
We're gonna go fishin'
Oh grandmama
You always knew
Someday, I
Won't have to miss you
[Chorus]
So take me to the graveyard, let me see the stones
If today ain't the day, I know I'll go later on
Take me to the gravеyard, really wanna go
Talk to the departеd, tell me what you know
[Verse 2]
Oh my buddy
You must be wiser now
You left too soon
Or I'm late somehow
Look here, partner
I shed no tear
You were the bravest
And now there ain't no fear
[Chorus]
So take me to the graveyard, let me see the stones
If today ain't the day, I know I'll go later on
Take me to the graveyard, really wanna go
Talk to the departed, tell me what you know
[Verse 3]
Up in the sky
With the white robed saints
Everything that is
Someday ain't
Who'm I to fight it
Time rolls on
You know the boss
I just know the song
[Chorus]
So take me to the graveyard, let me see the stones
If today ain't the day, I know I'll go later on
Take me to the graveyard, really wanna go
Talk to the departed, tell me what you know
I wanna tell 'em thank you
For giving it a try
For hurtin' and a-lovin'
For living this life
I wanna tell 'em thank you
I'm glad you came
Without everybody
The place wouldn't be the same
[Chorus]
So take me to the graveyard, let me see the stones
If today ain't the day, I know I'll go later on
Take me to the graveyard, really wanna go
Talk to the departed, tell me what you know
