I Will Never Die

Hickory, oak, pine and weed

Bury my heart underneath these trees

And when a southern wind comes to raise my soul

Spread my spirit like a flock of crows

'Cause I loved ya for too long

I loved ya for too long

I loved ya for too long

Old heat of a raging fire

Come and light my eyes

Summer's kiss through electric wire

But I'll never die

Sycamore, ash, moss and loam

Wrap your roots all around my bones

And when they come for me

When they call my name

Cast my shadow from a bellow's flame

'Cause I loved ya for too long

I loved ya for too long

I loved ya for too long

(So let the storm come)

Old heat of a raging fire

Come and light my eyes

Summer's kiss through electric wire

But I'll never die

I will never die

You can bury my body but I'll never die

In the dead of night

(In the dead of night)

I'm gonna loose these chains

(I'm gonna loose these chains)

Mmm, I'm gonna run and run and run and run and run (Sing on, sister)

I'm gonna run and run and run and run

Coming for you again

(Oh, coming for you again)

Oh, whoa-oh-oh

So let the storm come!

Old heat of a raging fire

Come and light my eyes

Summer's kiss through electric wire

But I'll never die

Ha! I will never die

You can bury my body but I'll never die

Hickory, oak, pine and weed

Bury my heart underneath these trees
