Bury me along the big sandy,
A E7
Down in those blue, gray mountains.

Rest my soul in those hills of coal,
A E A
Until this old earth does tremble.

Don't you mourn for me when my soul is free,
D E
No woman, don't you cry.
A D
You just bury me along the big sandy,
A E7 A
Under a blue Kentucky sky.

This old town of sin, its 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,
A E A
I'm forced to beg from Satan's hand.

D
When I came to this land, I was strong and I could stand,
A E
Oh, but now I've somehow gone astray.
A D
Yet I still see the truth in the teaching of my youth,
A E A
And I know that the Lord ain't turned away.
A D D7
Bury me along the big sandy,

Down in those blue, gray mountains.

Until this old earth does tremble.

No woman, don't you cry.

Under a blue Kentucky sky.
