The Carter Family - Away Out on the Saint Sabbath lyrics

[Verse 1] Away out on the old Saint Sabbath Lay down to take my rest My knapsack for my pillow And my gun across my chest [Chorus] Please don't bury me on the lone pra-rairie 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 [Verse 2] My father, he lies sleeping Beneath the deep blue sea I have no father, no mother There's none but Nell and me [Chorus] [Verse 3] My mother she lies sleeping Beneath the churchyard sod Her body lies there mouldering And her spirit has gone to God [Chorus]
