[Verse 1]
Dogwood hit the ground like bird wings make the sound
It's so peculiar swear to God you're so familiar
[Chorus]
Hon if I treat you mean
Plant a little cross in the backlot
Bury me when the rains run hot
Bury me when the foundrys rot
When the foundrys rot
Rot
[Post-Chorus]
No one ever should treat you unkind
No one does no harm to none of mine
[Verse 2]
Snapped a banjo string like a broken cardinal wing like
When we kissed in the sprawling endless kentucky grey mist
Termites line thе house like stitches in your blousе like
Southern gospel deer and all told
I'm good and awful
[Chorus]
Hon if I treat you mean
Plant a little cross in the backlot
Bury me when the rains run hot
Bury me when the foundrys rot
When the foundrys rot
Rot
[Post-Chorus]
No one ever should treat you unkind
No one does no harm to none of mine
