Songtext von Bury Me

Oh, bury me right where I fall Don't carry me home to my Ma I'd not have her see me go down So bury me right where I fall Oh, shovel the dirt on my face The angels of earth cover me The rain will come down on this place So shovel the dirt on my face Oh, The wind will fall And the blackbird will dance with the worm. Oh, The moon will call And the black snake she swallows the world. Now don't take my boots when I'm down, Leave them with me like a song. Oh, the waters of hell run so strong So don't take my boots when I'm gone. Oh, here where the river runs home Is where I will lay on my bones. Oh, the words lay by Christ on his throne Here where the river runs home. Oh, the wind will fall And the blackbird will dance with the worm. Oh, The moon will call And the black snake she swallows the world.
