JOHNNY CASH "WOULD YOU LAY WITH ME (IN A FIELD OF STONE)" Lyrics

Johnny Cash 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 if my lips were dry?

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

Will you bathe me with me in the stream of life?
When the moon is full will 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 another land?
Walk a thousand miles through the burning sand?
Wipe the blood away from my dieing hand,
If I give myself to you?

Would you lay with me in a field of stone?
If my lips grow dry, would you wet them dear?
Would you bathe with me in the stream of life?

Will you still love me when I'm down and out?

Would you lay with me in a field of stone?
When the moon is full, will you lay with me?

[WOULD YOU LAY WITH ME (IN A FIELD OF STONE)]
[Written by: David Allan Coe [1]
Performed by: Johnny Cash
Appears on: American (Recordings) III: Solitary Man-2000 [2] .]

[1] David Allan Coe (born September 6, 1939 in Akron, Ohio), is an
American country music singer who achieved his greatest popularity
in the 1970s and 1980s. He has written and performed over 280 original
songs throughout his long career. As a songwriter, his best-known
compositions are, "Would You Lay with Me (in a Field of Stone),"
originally recorded by Tanya Tucker in 1955 [3] , and "Take this Job and
Shove It." The latter was a #1 hit for Johnny Paycheck, and it was later
turned into a hit movie (both Coe and Paycheck had minor parts in the film).]

[2] An interesting note about this song, is that it raised a lot of
controversy for Tanya Tucker because people thought she was singing about
sex -- quite scandalous in the mid-fifties. Cash, on the other hand, thought it
was a song about death (the "field of stone," referring to gravestones) and sung
it as such. 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 been writing
wedding vows for his brother!]
