David Allan Coe Would you Lay with me (In a Field of
Stone) Lyrics:
Would you lay with me in a field of stone?
If my needs were strong, would you lay with me?
Should my lips grow dry, would you wet them, dear?
In the midnight hour, should my lips grow dry?

Would you go away to a-nother land?
Walk a thousand miles through the burning sand?
Wipe the blood away from my dying hand,
If I give myself to you?

Would you bathe with me in the stream of life?
When the moon is full, would you bathe with me?
Will you still love me when I'm down and out,
In my time of trial, will you stand by me?

Would you go away to a-nother land?
Walk a thousand miles through the burning sand?
Wipe the blood away from my dying hand,
If I give myself to you?

[1] An interesting note about this song is that, originally recorded by Tanya
Tucker in 1955, it raised a lot of controversy, because people thought she
was singing about sex (very taboo at that time). On the other hand, when men,
such as Johnny Cash, or Willie Nelson covered it, people assumed it was a song
about death -- a man going to a lonely grave and needing the assurance of his
loved one that she'd follow him that far. As far as Coe is concerned, more
than likely he meant it as a song about death, but as crazy as Coe is, for all
we know, he could have thought he was writing wedding vows for his brother.
