One Dyin' And A Buryin' Lyrics

(spoken)

Well I think I finally find me a sure fire way to forget
It's so simple I'm surprised I hadn't done though of it before yet
It's foolproof
Well, it's foolhardy maybe
But, who knows
Anyway here I'm walking toward where the cold, dark water flows
'Cause all it takes is...

One dyin' and a buryin'
One dyin' and a buryin'
Some cryin'
Six carryin' me
I wanna be free

Oh, I wanna be free
Free from all this heartache and regret
And free from pinin' from the love I can't get
The love that once was warm and then 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

Cover art for One Dyin' And A Buryin' lyrics by Roger Miller

one of the smoothest smokiest choruses ever sung... damn i wish i was around to see roger live... anyway... the references to "prison" and "escape" make me think this is a song about suicide... the lines about the "walking towards cold dark water" and "a sure fire way to forget" really substantiate the suicide reference... he's so upset over lost love that suicide is the only way to ease his pain
