| 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 |
