INDIAN BURIAL GROUND

I've been so mean and hateful to my baby

That's why the boogie man is after me

If I should die before I get forgiveness

Would someone do me one last favo please

Oh bury me in an Indian burial ground

It shouldn't be too hard for you to see

Yes bury me in an Indian burial ground

There's a good chance the devil might overlook me

The sidewalks of the town are filled with women

They lure me like the ointment did the fly

So if some night my jealous baby shoots me

Here's what I think of you if I should die

Oh bury me in an Indian burial ground

It shouldn't be too hard for you to see

Oh bury me in an Indian burial ground

Cause there's a good chance the devil might overlook me

I knew I should of hopped that freight to Frisco

By now I'd be a thousand miles from town

I heard the shot but I couldn't dodge a bullet

That's why I laying this close to the ground

Oh bury me in an Indian burial ground...

Oh bury me in an Indian burial ground...
