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
