Six Cold Feet
Hugh Laurie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I'm in six feet of cold cold ground
Just remember me darling
When I'm in six feet of cold cold ground
Always think of me darling
Say yeah there's another good man gone down
Don't cry baby, baby after I'm gone
Don't cry baby, don't cry after I'm gone
I've left the good man love you
And I ain't do nothing wrong
Just lay my body, lay my body in six cold feet of ground
Just lay my body, in six cold feet of ground
While I will be the loser, when that deal gose down
Remember me baby, when I'm in six feet of cold cold ground
Remember me baby, when I'm in six feet of cold cold ground
Always think of me baby,say yeah ther's another good man gone down
The song "Six Cold Feet" by Hugh Laurie is a melancholic blues number which speaks about death and the aftermath of losing a loved one. The lyrics are aimed at his partner, asking her to remember him even after he passes away and is buried in six feet of cold ground. The repetition of the line “Just remember me, darling when I'm in six feet of cold cold ground” emphasizes the emotional resonance that the thought of one’s partner not remembering you can bring.
The song’s structure and repetition of lyrics add power to the blunt honesty of the tune, a common trait in many blues songs. The line “Say yeah, there's another good man gone down” references the idea that the world lost a good soul because of the singer's death. However, the following line seems to suggest that he loves his partner deeply, saying that he left as a good man who loved her dearly.
Overall, the song is a poignant reminder to cherish the people we love and to let them know how much they mean to us before it is too late. The song’s lyrical simplicity and emotional delivery make it a powerful addition to Laurie’s oeuvre.
