Feelin' funny in my mind, lord,
I believe I'm fixin' to die
Oh funny in my mind, lord,
I believe I'm fixin' to
I don't mind dyin'
But I sure hate to leave my children cryin'.

Well now look over yonder to that buryin' ground
look over yonder to that buried
It sure seems lonesome, lord
When the sun goes down

Oh, Why, Oh Why, Oh, Why
Black smoke risin', lord,
it's risin' up above my head up above my head
black smoke risin', up above my
And tell Jesus to Make up my dyin' bed

Left my home just to be with you
Well now, left my home just to be with
You got me here now that's the way you do
Come on, Come on, Come On.

Take me back drive me one more time
Take me back drive me one more
I do...? it's all down the line

I'm Feelin' funny in my mind, lord,
I believe I'm fixin' to die
Feelin' funny in my mind, lord,
I believe I'm fixin' to
I don't mind dyin'
But I sure hate to leave my children
I don't mind dyin'
But I sure hate to leave my children
I don't mind dyin'
But I sure hate to leave my children cryin'

    Song MeaningI agree this is a touching song to pay tribute to his son that died. I think he is still mourning and longing to hear from his son or feel his presence once again. There are still tears and pain in there hearts (or souls); but, he feels he is free and in a better place (heaven, to me). In my opinion, when he says neighbor, neighbor don't be so cold there is more to the story untold... he is telling others not to be so negative or gloomy as there is promise of a better place and it is not the end for his son as there is eternal life in Jesus and heaven to me. Anyway, that is what I take from the song.
