I Won't Just Lay Down and Die

I won't say it's high and mighty
But I won't just lay down and die

Torn rags and broken knuckles
Smeared blood, all over
And the tear scraping down
Oh, I know you want me to rest
To call it a day and go to bed

Amorous call of bread and wine
And the sensual touch of a pillow
Open a bottle, champagne and ice!
Drink up hearties, and a toast to life
Cozy hold to a naked bosom
And a crown and a throne
Just to come by
Oh, I know no one's offering
All but not a dream...

I'll dress my wounds
I'll rest while I can
Have a drink of water
And wait till sun blooms
And then I'll punch again

Some bones are broken
But some still can stand
I'll cry in my womans lap
Yet I'll fight till it's on
And  I'll stay all along
Oh, I won't say it's high and mighty
But I just won't lay down and die
