The sun is sinking low and the hour is getting late.
And you need something that I can't live without,
but I'll give it anyway.
You're really in trouble this time.
You got no one left to blame.
And they pushed you down when you called me names,
but I loved you just the same.
[chorus]
Won't you take my blanket and go?
Won't you take my blanket and go?
Won't you take my blanket and go?
Ease your troubled soul,
warm your weary bones.
Yeah well what else can you do now?
You got nothing, you got nothing at all.
And I threw you rope, and you grabbed, it broke.
I got nothing else in my hands.
[chorus]
so,
Won't you take my blanket and go?
Won't you take my blanket and go?
Won't you take my blanket and go?
Ease your troubled soul,
warm your weary bones.
[musical interlude]
Won't you take my blanket and go?
Won't you take my blanket and go?
Won't you take my blanket and go?
Ease your troubled soul,
and when that cold wind blows,
warm your weary bones.
