Lyrics
Bury Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Bury me along the big sandy down in those blue gray mountains
Rest my soul in those hills of coal until this old earth does tremble
Now don't you mourn for me when my soul is free no woman don't you cry
You just bury me along the big sandy under a blue Kentucky sky
This old town of sin it's about to do me in
I don't know how much I can stand
With my knees on the street and my heart at their feet
I'm forced to beg from satan's hand
So bury me along the big sandy...
[ dobro - fiddle - guitar ]
When I came to this land I was strong and I could stand
But now I've somehow gone astray
Yet I still see the truth in the teaching of my youth
And I know that the Lord ain't turned away
So bury me along the big sandy...
Under a blue Kentucky sky under a blue Kentucky sky
