Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Bury me along the Big Sandy
Down in those blue-gray mountains
Rest my soul in those hills of coal
Until this old earth does a-tremble
[Verse 2]
Now don't you mourn for me
When my soul is free
No, woman, don't you cry
You just bury me along the Big Sandy
Under a blue Kentucky sky
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
So bury me along the Big Sandy
Down in those blue-gray mountains
Rest my soul in those hills of coal
Until this old earth does a-tremble
[Verse 5]
Don't you mourn for me
When my soul is free
No, woman, don't you cry
You just bury me along the Big Sandy
Under a blue Kentucky sky
[Verse 6]
When I came to this land
I was strong and I could stand
Ah, but now I've somehow gone astray
Yet I still see the truth
In the teaching of my youth, and I know
That the Lord ain't turned away
[Verse 7]
So bury me along the Big Sandy
Down in those blue-gray mountains
Rest my soul in those hills of coal
Until this old earth does a-tremble
[Verse 8]
Don't you mourn for me
When my soul is free
No, woman, don't you cry
You just bury me along the Big Sandy
Under a blue Kentucky sky
[Verse 9]
Under a blue Kentucky sky
Under a blue Kentucky sky
