Dick Curless Bury The Bottle With Me
There's a stone in yonder graveyard with my name carved
in it deep
It don't tell my life story these things it can't repeat
I never had a family I never took a wife
All I have was a barroom and I dran away my life
So bury the bottle with me for it's what tore me down
So I won't be alone tonight when they put me in the
ground
When they lower my body down
A drunker is a sinner on this I place no doubt
Oh the Lord won't share this palace with a thing he lives
without
For the bottle is the devil and drinking is his name
Now the bottle is what took my soul and petrified my
brain
So bury the bottle with me for it's what tore me down
So I won't be alone tonight when they put me in the
ground
When they lower my body down
