Dwight Yoakam And Maria Mckee Bury Me Lyrics

Bury Me Lyrics

Chorus:

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
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

Chorus:

So 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
Woman don't you cry
You 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 teaching of my youth
And I know that the Lord
ain't turned away

Chorus:

So 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
Woman don't you cry
You just bury me along the big sandy
Under a
blue Kentucky sky
Under a blue Kentucky sky
