I get high like every night
Off dancing in the beams of the night
Give my body to the low, flat bay
Bury me beside my family
I want my sister to carry me
To the top of the creek by the willow tree
Deliver my body all ragged and worn
Back to the morning of the day we were born
Oah-da-da-dah
I will be alone for a couple of months
Til I handpick a lover, you're the one I want
Waiting in the bed all giddy to see
If he gonna ask my daddy for me
How am I gonna tell him that I'm going away
How am I gonna handle it when he don't say
Baby, not a worry, I will follow you
Cuz we aren't young, unless we're young lovers
Oah-da-da-dah, etc
