Gentle's Lament Lyrics - Crocodile Shoes Ii - Jimmy Nail

Words and music by jimmy nail 

Hey momma don't you cry for me 

I'm gonna shake all the apples off of all the trees 

Oh yeah, but I'm coming home 

Hey baby don't you weep tonight 

When I see them apples hangin' gonna take a bite 

Oh yeah, but I'm coming home 

Hey daddy don't you worry now 

I'm gonna make every little thing right somehow 

Oh yeah, I'm coming home 

Hey momma don't you cry no more 

You know that very soon now I'll be beyond the law 

Oh yeah, I'm coming home 

Hey child remember when I'm gone 

I got to ride in a town car, twenty feet long 

Oh yeah, I'm coming home 

Hey boy you'd better get it right 

When you tie that rope you'd better fix it tight 

Oh yeah, I'm coming home 

Hey boys you remember me 

I rocked the ground. I shook the tree, but no more 

I'm coming home 

Hey jesus give a hand to me 

I'm a two-time sinner tryin' to make it three 

I'm about as bad as I can be, but I swear 

I'm coming home 

Oh I'm coming home
