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
