BURY ME [ with Maria McKee ]

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
