Lay it to rest You know my word ain't the best It's just another question of faith That I must take Till it's laid to waste Laid to waste, oh I stood and I watched you weep Until I'm gone you're sure to cry some more I stayed, lit a cigarette I thought we'd been here some time before Booked and I got to hurry Troubled times and worry Turn your head away Swear to you now I'm learning Troubled times are turning Turn your head away She said that it's five a.m. I think it's time for you to go Got to hurry, got to get on board And drink myself to sleep at home Booked and I got to hurry Troubled times and worry Turn your head away Swear to you I'm learning Troubled times are turning Turn your head away Shimmy on down, baby Shimmy on down, baby Shimmy on down, baby Shimmy on down, baby Booked and I got to hurry Troubled times and worry Turn your head away Swear to you I'm learning Troubled times are turning Turn your head away Booked and I got to hurry Troubled times and worry Turn your head away Swear to you I'm learning Troubled times are turning Turn your head away Shimmy on down baby Shimmy on down baby Shimmy on down Lay it to rest You know my love ain't the best This is just another question of taste That I must take Till it's laid to waste
