Carter Family – Away Out On The Saint Sabbath Lyrics

Away out on the old saint Sabbath
Lay down to take my rest
My knapsack for my pillow
And my gun across my chest

Please don't bury me on the lonesome prairie
Please don't bury me on the lone prairie
You can bury me in the east
You can bury me in the west
Please don't bury me on the lone prairie

My father he lies sleeping
Beneath the deep blue sea
I have no father no mother
There's none but hell and me

My mother she lies sleeping
Beneath the church yard rocks
Her body lies there moldering
And her spirit has gone to God
