One Dying and a Burying Songtext
von 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 walkin′ toward where the cold dark water flows
′Cause all it takes is

One dyin' and a buryin′
One dyin' and a buryin′
Some cryin', six carryin′ 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 dyin′ and a buryin'
One dyin′ and a buryin'
Some cryin′, six carryin' me
I wanna be free

One dyin′ and a buryin'
One dyin' and a buryin′
Some cryin′, six carryin' me
I wanna be free
