Lyric 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
