When the Reaper Comes Lookin'

from The Wait by St. Peter's Dog

lyrics

It's a free fall Saturday
So mama put the baby away
I'm gonna try to lose my worried mind
I'm gonna wake up Sunday blind
When the reaper she comes lookin' for me
I'll be sleepin' under the ol' oak tree

Well it happens almost every time
Brother don't forget the child
It's a wonder that we still got time
To wonder under the sweet sunshine
When the reaper she comes lookin' for me
I'll be drownin' number seventeen

When the reaper finally finds me
I'll be sleepin' under that same ol' oak tree
There's no need to cut me down, Mr. Devil...
