lyrics

Bury me standing with the wind at my back
Like the old old scarecrow by the broken track
Like the old scarecrow with his wicker cane
A hole in my top hat where I'm touched by the rain

Bury me standing, don't lay me down
I never wanted to sleep in that frozen ground
I only want to sleep by your frozen side
By those broken tracks where no train rides

Bury me standing but not underground
Bury me standing

Bury me standing with my mojo bag
Tighten my belt when my trousers sag
Tighten my belt like a hang man's noose
You know I hate it when my pants get loose

Bury me standing with a candle stick
I'll need something pawn when I get sick
We all need something pawn when the honey bees sting
So hang on to your grandma's ring

Bury me standing when I get sick
Bury me standing

You can buy and old pine box
Dress me up in new tie and socks
Toss my fiddle in the hole
Just bury me standing

Just bury me standing, tie rocks to my feet
Don't let me dance when my heart don't beat
My heart don't beat, it hasn't for years
And my dancing shoes caused so many tears

Just bury me standing with my eyes sewn shut
Plug my ears with an acorn nut
Plug my ears, they've heard too much
Bind my hands so they cannot touch

Bury me standing without my shoes
Bury me standing you got nothin' to lose
Bury me standing, my heart don't beat
Bury me standing
Bury me standing
