Songtexte: Roger Miller. All Time Greatest Hits. One Dyin' And A Buryin'.

(Spoken)
Well, I think I finally found me a sure-fire way to forget;
It?s so simple, I?m surprised I hadn?t done thought of it before yet.
It?s foolproof well it?s foolhardy, maybe, but who knows --
Anyway, here I am, walkin? down toward where the cold, dark water flows.
All it takes is...

One dyin? and a buryin?, one dyin? and a buryin?
Some cryin?, six carryin? me, I wanta to be free.

(Spoken)
Oh-ho, I wanta be free, free from all this heartache and regret,
And free from pinin? for the love I can?t forget.
The love that once was warm and then just somehow turned to hate,
Made my life a prison from which there?s only one escape
That?s...

One dyin? and a buryin?, one dyin? and a buryin?
Some cryin?, six carryin? me, I wanta to be free.
One dyin? and a buryin?, one dyin? and a buryin?
Some cryin?, six carryin? me... I wanta to be free.
