Don't You Bury Me
T R Munday
Copyright 2017

In my time of dying
Don't you bury me
Underneath that cold dark ground
And throw the dirt in over me

Lay me on the prairie
Underneath the sun
Where the wind blows through my hair
When my dying time has come

Put me down where the morning sun
That rises in the east
Can fall upon my body
Let the crows and vultures feast

In my time of dying
Let my soul roam free
Underneath a starry sky
That's the place for me

Put me where the tall grass grows
And the coyotes roam
Where the air is fresh and clean
That will be my final home

In my time of dying
Set my spirit free
Lay me in the open air
Don't you bury me

Lay me down where the west wind blows
And the rain can fall on me
Where the sun shines on my bones
And set my spirit free
