You got a way about you, baby I got a hunger for you that is killin' me I'm gonna watch you till they lay me in my grave You can put on your Sunday suit and dance in my parade I could die in a flood, sheddin' blood, or a fire If I don't die of desire If I don't die of desire I saw the Mississippi when I was a child Wanted to jump into that river runnin' wild My mama told me when she took me in her arms All of the things we long for come to do us harm I could die in a flood, sheddin' blood, or a fire If I don't die of desire If I don't die of desire When they lay me in my grave They're gonna say that I lived right They're gonna cry for me all night They're gonna laugh at my epitaph You can live like a king; you can sing in the choir But we all die of desire We all die of desire From Letras Mania
