Down in those blue gray mountains.

Rest my soul in those hills of coal,
A E A
Until this old earth does tremble.

Don't you mourn for me when my soul is free,
D E
No woman, don't you cry.

You just bury me along the Big Sandy,
A E7 A
Under a blue Kentucky sky.

With my knees on the street and my heart at their feet,

So bury me along the Big Sandy,
A E7
Down in those blue, gray mountains.

Rest my soul in those hills of coal,
A E A
Until this old earth does tremble.

When I came to this land, I was strong and I could stand,

Oh, but now I've somehow gone astray.

And I know that the Lord ain't turned away.

Bury me along the Big Sandy,

Down in those blue gray mountains.

Rest my soul in those hills of coal,
