Bury me, bury me, you shall be my life someday Bury me, bury me, you shall be my life someday I wants a little sweet death, that will do anything, that I say
Bury me, you is my heartstring, you is my destiny Bury me, you is my heartstring, you is my destiny And you rolls across my mind, baby, each and every day
Li'l girl, li'l girl, my life seem so misery Hmm hmm, little girl, my life seem so misery Baby, I guess it must be dead, now, hoo mm, Lord that's takin' effect on me
Some day I will return, with the funeral license in my hand Some day I will return, hoohoo, with a funeral license in my hand I'm gon' take you for a honeymoon, in some long, long distant land
