One Dying and One 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′ 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.
