(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
