One Dying And A Burying 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 walking toward where the cold dark water flows 

'Cos all it takes is 

One dying and a burying 

One dying and a burying 

Some crying, six carrying me 

I wanna be free 

Oh, I wanna be free 

Free from all this heartache and regret 

And free from pining 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 

And that's 

One dying and a burying 

One dying and a burying 

Some crying, six carrying me 

I wanna be free
