 and i'm  home to die
 would you bury me by the old  tree
 'tween the river and the

 left my  bound for europe on the adeline
 packed my things and left my mom  dad behind
 
 there the churches spot the skyline in  endless dawn
 and on  row we'd walk the waterfront

 and  coming home to die

 'tween  river and the Ashley
 oh  won't you bury me

 all  lazy noons
 sipping tea  the evening came
 and the graveyard where my father  his southern bones

  i'm coming home to die
 would you bury me by the  oak tree
 'tween the river and the 
 oh charleston, won't you bury
