Bury Me With a Six String in My Hands

This is my last request
Mama wipe your salty tears
The devil takes me under
But the music still lives here

Please darling… just give me one last thing
Bury me, with my beloved black six-string

If I die, earlier than I planned
Bury me, with a six string in my hands
If I fall dead, right here where I stand
Bury me, with a six string in my hands
If I die my only demand
Is you don’t separate… the guitar from the man

I’ll play my tunes to the devil
They all blues down in hell
I’ll play my tune to the devil
Like I’ve got a soul to sell

Oh baby.. give me my final rites
And bury me, so I can play the blues at night

Don’t wipe the blood from my fretboard
Leave the six-string in my hand
The devil take my soul he’ll never take the blues
Cause we’ll always have this jam

Please darling… make my last request
Place my baby six-string right up my chest

If I die, earlier than I planned
Bury me, with a six string in my hands
If I fall dead, right here where I stand
Bury me, with a six string in my hands
If I die my only demand
Is you don’t separate… the guitar from the man
