Burn my body in the Northern Field Let the wind blow the ashes around And then you will know that my wounds have been healed Cause Lord I'll be homeward bound Let the flames warm your hands Let the glow light your way These gifts to you I bestow And noones listenin don't bother to pray If you do lord I'll never know Well up and up the smoke will roll Like a cloud of frightened crows To Carry my not so immortal soul Up between the rows Up between the rows Burn my body in the Northern Field Let the wind blow the ashes around And then you will know that my wounds have been healed Cause lord I'll be homeward bound Oh lord I'll be homeward bound Some words that are said can cut like a saw My ears nearly bled at the sound And I cant help prepare for the springtime thaw cause lord ill be homeward bound And the frost turns to flowers and they all start to bloom and theres nothin left to hoe well tip one back and sing me a tune And never let the fire grow cold Never let the fire grow cold Burn my body in the Northern Field Let the wind blow the ashes around And then you will know that my wounds have been healed Cause lord I'll be homeward bound Oh lord I'll be homeward bound
