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 tremble. 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. 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 I’m forced to beg from Satan’s hand. 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 tremble. 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. INSTRUMENTAL When I came to this land I was strong and I could stand Oh 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. 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 tremble. 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. Under a blue Kentucky sky. Under a blue Kentucky sky.
