Bury My Bones Lyrics - Whiskey Myers

If I die young, write my mother 

Tell her that I love her but my soul's gone home 

And take my vessel to Anderson County 

Drive real slow and take the long way home 

Tell my kin to pick up a shovel 

Wrestle that sugar sand and bury my bones 

Won't you bury my bones beneath these pines 

When it comes time for you to bury my bones 

And don't throw me no funeral, sister don't cry 

Saw that fiddle, brother, pass that shine 

Deep down in the holler, pick the tallest pine 

Dig it real deep where the roots touch mine 

Cross the Red River where it opens wide 

The heroine sails to the Choctaw side 

Follow my trail to a silver stone 

And gather my body when you bury my bones 

Won't you bury my bones

Yeah, if I die young, write my mother 

Tell her that I love her but my soul's gone home 

And take me back to Anderson County 

Drive real slow and take the long way home 

And tell my kin to pick up a shovel 

Wrestle that sugar sand and bury my bones 

Bury my bones beneath these pines 

When it comes time 

Yeah, if I die young 

Yeah, if I die young 

Yeah, if I die young
