Go past the cemetery oh child please donâ??t make me wait

I havenâ??t got much time

So, take me down to the Missouri on the way to Arkansas

My poppa thinks itâ??s criminal so I ainâ??t coming back

I havenâ??t got much time

And what I want and what I need 
    G             D 
Is all I have in mind
