One Dyin and a Buryin - 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 wanna be free

Oh ho, I wanna 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 wanna be free

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

Some cryin', six carryin' me, I wanna be free
