(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 dont you mourn for me when my soul is free
Woman dont you cry
Just bury me along the big sandy
Under a blue kentucky sky
This old town of sin, its about to do me in
I dont know how much I can stand
With my knees on the street and my heart at their feet
Im forced to beg from satans 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 dont you mourn for me when my soul is free
Woman dont 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 Ive somehow gone astray
Yet I still see the truth in the teachings of my youth
And I know that the lord aint 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 dont you mourn for me when my soul is free
Woman dont you cry
Just bury me along the big sandy
Under a blue kentucky sky
Under a blue kentucky sky
