There's a stone in yonder graveyard with my name carved in it deep
It don't tell my life story these things it can't repeat
I never had a family I never took a wife
All I have was a barroom and I drank away my life
So bury the bottle with me for it's what tore me down
So I won't be alone tonight when they put me in the ground
When they lower my body down
A drunker is a sinner on this I place no doubt
Oh the Lord won't share this palace with a thing he lives without
For the bottle is the devil and drinking is his name
Now the bottle is what took my soul and petrified my brain
So bury the bottle with me
