Boys workin' on empty Is that the kind'a way to face the burning heat? I just think about my baby I'm so full of love I could barely eat There's nothing sweeter than my baby I'd never want once from the cherry tree 'Cause my baby's sweet as can be She give me toothaches just from kissin' me When my time comes around Lay me gently in the cold dark earth No grave can hold my body down I'll crawl home to her Boys when my baby found me I was three days on a drunken sin I woke with her walls around me Nothin' in her room but an empty crib And I was burnin' up a fever I didn't care much how long I lived But I swear I thought I dreamed her She never asked me once about the wrong I did When my time comes around Lay me gently in the cold dark earth No grave can hold my body down I'll crawl home to her When my time comes around Lay me gently in the cold dark earth No grave can hold my body down I'll crawl home to her My baby never fret none About what my hands and my body done If the lord don't forgive me I'd still have my baby and my babe would have me When I was kissing on my baby And she put her love down soft and sweet In the lowland plot I was free Heaven and hell were words to me When my time comes around Lay me gently in the cold dark earth No grave can hold my body down I'll crawl home to her When my time comes around Lay me gently in the cold dark earth No grave can hold my body down I'll crawl home to her
damn this is seriously something else! I absolutely love what you did here. Any chance you'd be open to talking about what chords you used here? I haven't found anything that sounds quite this good and you nailed this!
Thank you!! the chords are Gm, F, A#, and Cm for the chorus and the verses just ride the E and A strings on the first and third fret respectively! Hope that helps! :)
I've never been more grateful with the YT algorithm for recommending me something. This is just beautiful, your voice, the aesthetics, the video, everything. ✨✨✨
Work Song is my favorite song. I find it hard to appreciate covers of my favorite song. But this one is an exception. This is so beautifully done like the original. He captured the essence of the original song ❤ Thanks for this ❤
I know I’m really late, but your voice is absolutely perfect. I feel like I’m listening to an angel. Please make more covers, please please please. I pray you see this. 🖤
Wow, that means so much to me thank you. I’ve actually been working on recording some of my own music over the past few months which will hopefully be out soon so stay tuned for that! :) As for the covers you can check out my Instagram and TikTok where I post shorter snippets of covers every now and then! x
This was an amazing cover, really authentic and vocals were magical!!! You should try and sing “in a week” by Hozier it would be an amazing cover to hear!
This recently came onto my suggestions. I'm so happy I got to see this and finally see you sing this song! Keep up the hard work! So proud to see your progression :)
We were just talking about Work Song covers like an hour ago then this shows up in my recommendations. Is RU-vid spying on me?😱 P. S. great cover! Absolutely love it!💖
Been searching for acoustic covers and ways to change this song which is very difficult because this song already in itself is one difficult you have to have emotions. When you’re also changing up I am the instruments and the set up for the song it’s so easy to add too much this song because this song is not meant to have eight 18 piece orchestra or 808 or any of this BS song supposed to be from a place of pain and recovery and just damn. One guy crush to the max beautiful two I would love to have him on my album or collaborate in someway shape or form because I think you’ll be very very amazing with the folk and set up of the way I do things. So I don’t know I know that I have to cover the song put it on tour it would be dope to have someone like you come up and just do that song and a two duet about two people that are talking about different things I think it would be awesome and it would keep what you did so well as keeping light and perfect Number three damn damn damn damn damn fine in love boy crush whatever yes
I won't lie, the cover sounds no different than the original song itself. Someone can substitute your voice at the place of Hozier's lead vocalist, and I won't know.
