[Intro]
[Verse 1]
He was all decked out in his work day best
Clean white shirt, Red Wing boots, overalls
The first one in, last one out
Best seat in the good Lord s house
He could see it all
I m sure he smiled as the preacher read
And his unsteady hand read his last request
[Chorus]
When my work is done, the worlds through with me
And I ve plowed my last tobacco field
Don t shed a tear, but be sure to bury me
With a flask of whiskey, and a tractor key, and a photograph of my Emily
And send me home back to my makers arms
With amazing Grace, the Twenty Third Psalm
[Verse 2]
He came back from France in 44
Purple Heart and a diamond ring, for the girl next door
Lived a hard scratch farmer s life
A few good friends and a faithful wife, he adored
He was never one to ask for much
But to rest in peace, with a little peace, from the things he loved
[Chorus]
When my work is done, the worlds through with me
And I ve plowed my last tobacco field
Don t shed a tear, but be sure to bury me
With a flask of whiskey, and a tractor key, and a photograph of my Emily
And send me home back to my makers arms
With amazing Grace, the Twenty Third Psalm
[Verse 3]
Well lay me down in greener pastures
Right beside the quiet waters
Through the valley of the shadows, and restore my soul
[Chorus]
When my work is done, the worlds through with me
And I ve plowed my last tobacco field
Don t shed a tear, but be sure to bury me
With a flask of whiskey, and a tractor key, and a photograph of my Emily
And send me home back to my makers arms
With amazing Grace, the Twenty Third Psalm
[END VERSE]
He was all decked out in his work day best
[Verse 1]
He was all decked out in his work day best
Clean white shirt, Red Wing boots, overalls
The first one in, last one out
Best seat in the good Lord s house
He could see it all
I m sure he smiled as the preacher read
And his unsteady hand read his last request
[Chorus]
When my work is done, the worlds through with me
And I ve plowed my last tobacco field
Don t shed a tear, but be sure to bury me
With a flask of whiskey, and a tractor key, and a photograph of my Emily
And send me home back to my makers arms
With amazing Grace, the Twenty Third Psalm
[Verse 2]

Purple Heart and a diamond ring, for the girl next door
Lived a hard scratch farmer s life
A few good friends and a faithful wife, he adored

When my work is done, the worlds through with me
And I ve plowed my last tobacco field
Don t shed a tear, but be sure to bury me
With a flask of whiskey, and a tractor key, and a photograph of my Emily
