Roger Miller - One Dyin' And A Buryin' lyrics

(Spoken)

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 wanta to be free.

(Spoken)

Oh-ho, I wanta 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 wanta to be free.

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

Some cryin', six carryin' me... I wanta to be free.
