Bury Me Deep
Seth Lakeman, Traditional
I am tired and weary, I am going to sigh
I soon must leave you, heard a sweet child cry
Father dearest, promise you'll not weep for me
When I leave you, don't you bury me deep
Bury me, don't bury me deep
Where the lil birds sing and the pretty flowers creep
Bury me, or let me sleep
When you lay me down, don't you bury me deep
Sunday's fathered by my graveside near
Tell the flowers little stories which to me reveal
That my brother, my sister, by my headstone keep
So I may hear them, don't you bury me deep
Bury me, don't bury me deep
Where the lil birds sing and the pretty flowers creep
Bury me, or let me sleep
When you lay me down, don't you bury me deep
When you lay me down, don't you bury me deep
