One Dyin And A Buryin

Roger Miller

One Dyin' and a Buryin'Roger MillerWords and Music by Roger Miller(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.From: "Roy T. O'Conner"
