One Dyin' And A Buryin' Lyrics - Roger Miller

Well, I think I finally found me a sure-fire way to forget 

It's so simple, I'm surprised I hadn't done thought of it before yet 

It's foolproof, well, it's foolhardy, maybe, but who knows? 

Anyway, here I am, walkin' down toward where the cold dark water flows 

All it takes is 

One dyin' and a buryin', one dyin' and a buryin' 

Some cryin', six carryin' me 

I wanna be free 

Oh-ho, I want to be free 

Free from all this heartache and regret 

And free from pinin' for the love I can't forget 

The love that once was warm and then just somehow turned to hate 

Made my life a prison from which there's only one escape 

That's 

One dyin' and a buryin', one dyin' and a buryin' 

Some cryin', six carryin' me, I wanna be free 

One dyin' and a buryin', one dyin' and a buryin' 

Some cryin', six carryin' me, I wanna be free
