The Carter Family – Away Out On The Old Saint Sabbath (Guitar)

A                                             D       A
Away out on the old Saint Sabbath lay down to take my rest,

                                 E             A
my knapsack for my pillow and my gun across my chest.

             E                           A
Please don’t bury me on the lonesome prairie,

             E                       A
Please don’t bury me on the lone prairie!

                                     D
You can bury me in the east, you can bury me in the west,

             E                   A
please don’t bury me on the lone prairie!

                                       D         A
My father he lies sleeping beneath the deep blue sea,

           D        A               E                 A
I have no father no mother, there's none but Nell and me.

             E                           A
Please don’t bury me on the lonesome prairie,

             E                       A
Please don’t bury me on the lone prairie!

                                     D
You can bury me in the east, you can bury me in the west,

             E                   A
please don’t bury me on the lone prairie!

                                        D           A
My mother she lies sleeping beneath the church yard sod,

                                       E                  A
her body lies there mouldering and her spirit has gone to God.

             E                           A
Please don’t bury me on the lonesome prairie,

             E                       A
Please don’t bury me on the lone prairie!

                                     D
You can bury me in the east, you can bury me in the west,

             E                   A
please don’t bury me on the lone prairie!
