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
