White Satin Bed Lyrics

Hangin' on to every nickel and every dime never had a dollar to call mine

I gotta work tomorrow just to pay for the day

Well I worked all that I can stand now
I long for the day

Then I can sleep in my white satin bed
with a red velvet pillow for my head

They'll lower me into my grave
with gropes of gold and bread

And I'll sleep for eternity in my white satin bed

Well I never had no soft warm bed before
just a cold park bench or a boxcar floor

Thumbin' north to the coal mines
or south to cotton fields

Oh hangin' on it won't be long
till I'll know how it feels

To sleep in my white satin bed...

Yes I'll sleep for eternity in my white satin bed
