Indian Burial Ground Lyrics - Del Reeves

INDIAN BURIAL GROUND 

(Hank Mills) 

'65 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI 

I've been so mean and hateful to my baby 

That's why the boogie man is after me 

If I should die before I get forgiveness 

Would someone do me one last favo please 

Oh bury me in an Indian burial ground 

It shouldn't be too hard for you to see 

Yes bury me in an Indian burial ground 

There's a good chance the devil might overlook me 

The sidewalks of the town are filled with women 

They lure me like the ointment did the fly 

So if some night my jealous baby shoots me 

Here's what I think of you if I should die 

Oh bury me in an Indian burial ground 

It shouldn't be too hard for you to see 

Oh bury me in an Indian burial ground 

Cause there's a good chance the devil might overlook me 

I knew I should of hopped that freight to Frisco 

By now I'd be a thousand miles from town 

I heard the shot but I couldn't dodge a bullet 

That's why I laying this close to the ground 

Oh bury me in an Indian burial ground... 

Oh bury me in an Indian burial ground...
