Chorus
When I die won’t you bury me up on the hill
When I die won’t you bury me on the hill
Up on the hill, up on the hill where the woods are quiet and the wind is still
When I die won’t you bury me up on the hill

When I die won’t you bury me up on the hill
When I die won’t you bury me up on the hill
See the bluffs under the ridge looking down at the waters edge
When I die won’t you bury me on that hill

Gonna lay me 6 feet down in the golden soil
Gonna lay me 6 feet down in the golden soil
In the golden soil my body be, at the foot of a walnut tree
Gonna lay me 6 feet down in the golden soil


(chorus)

I wanna hear those songbirds singing on my grave
I wanna hear those songbirds singing on my grave
Hear the mocking bird, meadowlark, and the Jay, the whippoorwill when it’s not day
Wanna hear them songbirds singing on my grave

(chorus)

Gonna let my soul roll on out on the morning train
Gonna let my soul roll on out on the morning train
On the morning train, on the morning train with a little bit of sunshine, little bit of rain
Let my soul roll on out on the morning train.

(chorus)
