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 had was a bottle and I drank 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 drunkard is a sinner, on this I place no doubt

Oh, the Lord won't share his palace with the things 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
