Hey, lay me down some rails, boys.
Don't put me in jail, boys.
An' if I make a little noise,
Just leave me alone.
I've been known to party some.
But I ain't never hurt no one.
I've been ashamed of what I've done,
Especially when I'm stoned.

I've spent most of my life in honest thinkin'.
And I've never cared too much for serious drinkin'
Marijuana makes my eyes start blinkin'.
And incense make my sinuses drain.

So, lay me down some rails, boys.
Don't put me in jail, boys.
An' if I make a little noise,
Just leave me alone.
I've been known to party some.
But I ain't never hurt no one.
I've been ashamed of what I done,
Especially when I'm stoned.

Now, women make me think of consolation.
Prison makes me think of isolation.
Niggers made me vote for segregation.
And cocaine makes me hard as a rock.

So, lay me down some rails, boys.
Don't put me in jail, boys.
An' if I make a little noise,
Just leave me alone.
I've been known to party some.
But I ain't never hurt no one.
I've been ashamed of what I've done,
Especially when I'm stoned.

Well, it's hard to work for a dollar a week.
An' the Ku Klux Klan is bigger.
So take the sheets off of your bed,
And let's go hang a nigger.

Then, lay me down some rails, boys.
An' don't put me in jail, boys.
And if I make a little noise,
Just leave me alone.
I've been known to party some.
But I ain't never hurt no one.
Been ashamed of what I've done,
'Specially when I'm...
'Specially when I'm...
'Specially when I'm...
'Specially when I'm...
'Specially when I'm...
'Specially when I'm...
'Specially when I'm...
'Specially when I'm...
'Specially when I'm stoned.
