"Lay Me Down" lyrics - LORETTA LYNN

[Loretta:]
I raise my head and set my sail
In the eye of the storm, in the belly of a whale
My spirit stood on solid ground
I'll be at peace when they lay me down

[Willie:]
When I was a child I cried
Until my knees were satisfied
My knees have grown up pound for pound
I'll be at peace when they lay me down

[Chorus: Willie and Loretta]
When they lay me down someday
My soul will rise and fly away
This old world will turn around
I'll be at peace when then lay me down

[Loretta:]
This life isn't fair it seems
It's filled with tears and broken dreams
[Loretta and Willie:]
There are no tears where I am bound
And I'll be at peace when they lay me down

[Chorus 2x]

[Loretta:]
When I was a child I cried...
