I'm dead and I'm done by the heat of the sun

and I'll rest my hat in an Autumn field

and I'll hang my hat in an Autumn field

In an Autumn field

Tell my momma not to worry

The food is sweet and the weather's been sunny

and I'm well known roundabout

The local pick pocket is a layabout

Tell my daddy oh there's no need for washing

They do it in your sleep when you're not watching

I've already had the neighbors here

Johnny Cash came around and we split a beer

I'm dead and done by the heat of the sun

and I'll rest my hat in an Autumn field

and I'll hang my hat in an Autumn field

In an Autumn field

The girls up here sure look swell

They sing like birds, I hear it's nothing like hell

The local priest says there's no need for cheatin'

The local wags call it meetin' and a greetin'

I'm dead and I'm done by the heat of the sun

and I'll rest my hat in an Autumn field

and I'll hang my hat in an Autumn field.
