About Would You Lay with Me (In a Field of Stone)

"Would You Lay with Me (In a Field of Stone)" is a song written by David Allan Coe and recorded by American country music artist Tanya Tucker. It was released in December 1973 as the first single and title track from the album Would You Lay with Me (In a Field of Stone). It topped the U. S. country chart on March 30, 1974, for one week and was Tucker's third number-one song on the chart. On the Billboard Hot 100, the song peaked at number 46. Only her 1975 number-one country hit, "Lizzie and the Rainman", performed better on the pop chart. Coe later recorded the song as the b-side to his 1975 single "You Never Even Called Me by My Name." In 1974, a version by veteran Australian singer Judy Stone reached into the top 5 of the Australian pop charts. Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings recorded the song on their 1983 album, Take It to the Limit. In 2000, Johnny Cash covered the song on his album, American III: Solitary Man. Alf Robertson covered the song in 1978, in Swedish as "Jennifers frågor". more »

Would you lay with me in a field of stone
If my need's were strong would you lay with me
Should my lips grow dry would you wet them dear
In the midnight hour if my lips were dry

Would you go away to another land
Walk a thousand miles through the burning sand
Wipe the blood away from my dying hand
If I gave myself to you

Will you bathe me with me in the stream of life
When the moon is full will you bathe with me

Will you still love me when I'm down and out
In my time of trials will you stand by me

Would you go away to another land
Walk a thousand miles through the burning sand
Wipe the away blood from my dying hand
If I gave myself to you

Would you lay with me in a field of stone
If my lips grow dry would you wet them dear

Would you bathe me with me in the stream of life
Will you still love me when I'm down and out

Would you lay with me in a field of stone
When the moon is full will you lay with me

Johnny Cash

John R. "Johnny" Cash (February 26, 1932 – September 12, 2003), was an American singer-songwriter, actor, and author, who has been called one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Although he is primarily remembered as a country music icon, his songs and sound spanned many other genres including rockabilly and rock and roll—especially early in his career—as well as blues, folk, and gospel. This crossover appeal led to Cash being inducted in the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Gospel Music Hall of Fame. more »
