Lyrics

#VERSE
One day I’m gonna tell my lover fare thee well
One day I’m gonna tell my lover fare thee well
I’m gonna kiss his handsome face
He’ll never be replaced
One day I’m gonna tell my lover fare thee well

#VERSE
One day I’m gonna lay my momma in the ground
One day I’m gonna lay my momma in the ground
I’m gonna cry and moan and grieve
She’ll always be with me
One day I’m gonna lay my momma in the ground

#CHORUS
Goodbyes ain’t ever easy
You grieve ‘em till the grief is past
And the next time they come a callin’
Steel your heart child for the darkness cannot last

#VERSE
One day my little baby child be up and grown
One day my little baby child be up and grown
He’ll walk with head held up high
Carryin’ around his momma’s pride
One day my little baby child be up and grown

#INSTRUMENTAL

#CHORUS
Oh goodbyes ain’t ever easy
You grieve ‘em till the grief is past
And the next time they come a callin’
Steel your heart child for the darkness cannot last

#CHORUS
Oh yes goodbyes ain’t ever easy
You grieve ‘em till the grief is past
And the next time they come a callin’
Steel your heart child for the darkness cannot last
Oh steel your heart child for the darkness cannot last
Steel your heart child the darkness cannot last
