CHORUS:
Hey, bury me along the big sandy
Down in those Blue Grass mountains.
Rest my soul in those hills of coal
Until this old land doesn`t tremble.
Don`t you mourn for me when my soul is free
No, woman, don`t you cry.
Just bury me along the big sandy,
Under the 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 flee from Satan`s hand.

CHORUS:...

When I came to this land I was strong and could stand,
But now I`ve somehow gone astray.
But I still see the truth and the teaching of my youth
And I know the Lord ain`t turned away.

CHORUS:...
