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
