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

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
