Bury My Bones |
| If I die young, write my mother |
| Tell her that I love her, but my soul’s gone home |
| And take my vessel to Anderson County |
| Drive real slow and take the long way home |
| Tell my kin to pick up a shovel |
| Wrestle that sugar sand and bury my bones |
| Won’t you bury my bones, beneath these pines? |
| When it comes time for you to bury my bones |
| Now, don’t throw me no funeral, sister, don’t cry |
| Saw that fiddle, brother, pass that 'shine |
| Deep down in the holler, pick the tallest pine |
| Dig it real deep where the roots touch mine |
| Cross the Red River where it opens wide |
| The heroine sails to the Choctaw side |
| Follow my trail to a silver stone |
| And gather my body when you bury my bones |
| Won’t you bury my bones? |
| Yeah, if I die young, write my mother |
| Tell her that I love her, but my soul’s gone home |
| And take me back to Anderson County |
| Drive real slow and take the long way home |
| And tell my kin to pick up a shovel |
| Wrestle that sugar sand and bury my bones |
| Bury my bones beneath these pines |
| When it comes time |
| Yeah, if I die young |
| Yeah, if I die young |
| Yeah, if I die young |
