Roll me on home
In a blanket of gold
Roll me on home
In a blanket of gold

Walk me down to the river
And throw in my bones

Roll me on home
In a blanket of gold
Roll me on home
In a blanket of gold

I'll walk with the angels
I'll sink like a stone

Roll me on home
In a blanket of gold
Roll me on home
In a blanket of gold

The deeper I fall, boys
The higher I'll go

Roll me on home
In a blanket of gold
Roll me on home
In a blanket of gold

Please tell my mother
I'm coming on home

Roll me on home
In a blanket of gold
Roll me on home
In a blanket of gold

For come next April
I go with the snow

Roll me on home
In a blanket of gold
