(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
