Zachary Gilbert - Burial Ground Blues Lyrics

I won't get my rest til I'm in the ground
I won't get my rest til I'm in the ground
When I close my eyes, put me in the burial ground

Don't cry for me baby, I am long gone
Don't cry for me baby, I am long gone
You can cry for me baby, until you're ready to move on

There ain't no place waitin for me on the other side
There ain't no place waitin for me on the other side
Nobody gonna look for me, til they turn the tide

She took me by the ears, dragged me across the floor
She took me by the ears, dragged me across the floor
She dragged me so hard I had to scream and holler for more

My baby told me once
My baby told me twice
My baby told me three times
She wasn't that nice
My baby left me lyin on the cold hard ground
Had to get someone to come and lay me right on down

I won't get my rest til I'm in the ground
I won't get my rest til I'm in the ground
When I close my eyes, put me in the burial ground
