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 doesnât tremble.
Donât you mourn for me when my soul is free
No, woman, donât you cry.
Just bury me, along the big sandy,
Under the blue Kentucky sky.
This old town of sin, itâs about to do me in
I Donât know how much I can stand.
With my knees on the street and my heart at their feet
Iâm forced to flee from Satanâs hand.
Chorus
When I came to this land I was strong and could stand,
But now Iâve somehow gone astray.
But I still see the truth and the teaching of my youth
And I know the Lord ainât turned away.
