Bury Me

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
