Bury Me In Bluegrass

Huey was a captain
With Andy Jackson
He settled in Kentucky
On a soldier's pay
It was two hundred acres
And for almost
As many years
The land has borne
My family name
You can count
The generations
Like circles in a tree
On tombstones
You can barely read

Will you walk with me
Across
The blue-green pastures
I wanna see horses
Rtun one more time
You can lay me down
Bbeside the ones
Ggone before me
Bury me in bluegrass
When I die

Uncle Henry sells computers
He never learned to farm
So he sold his part to daddy
When grandpa died
And mom and dad are old now
They say they're gonna move
Where the weather
Is always warm and dry

The buyers signed
The note today
They're gonna build a mall
With plans to break ground
Before the fall

Will you walk with me
Through the fields of burley
I wanna see
Leaves of gold one more time
You can lay me down beside
The ones gone before me
Bury me
In bluegrass when I die

They nailed
The sign up yesterday
And I don't understand
To me it's more
Than just a piece of land

Will you walk with me
Through the peaceful valley
I wanna see
The harvest moon
One more time
You can lay me down beside
The ones gone before me
Bury me in bluegrass
When I die
