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

"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).

Only her 1975 number-one country hit, "Lizzie and the Rainman", performed better on the pop chart.

John Lomax III stated that he was present when David Allen Coe heard the song If I Needed You by Townes Van Zandt and asked to use it.

Van Zandt gave permission as long as he was credited as a writer, but instead Coe copied the subject matter and melody for "Would You Lay With Me" and did not credit Townes Van Zandt.
