Bury Me (duet With Maria Mckee) Lyrics

Bury Me (duet With Maria Mckee)

(D. Yoakam)

 

 Chorus:

 Bury me along the big sandy

 Down in the 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

 Woman don't you cry

 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

 

 Chorus:

 So bury me along the big sandy

 Down in the 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

 Woman don't you cry

 Just bury me along the big sandy

 Under a blue Kentucky sky

 

 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 teachings of my youth

 And I know that the Lord ain't turned away

 

 Chorus:

 So Bury me along the big sandy

 Down in the 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

 Woman don't you cry

 Just bury me along the big sandy

 Under a blue Kentucky sky

 Under a blue Kentucky sky
