 i am old, i am 
  i'm coming home to die
 would you  me by the old oak tree
 'tween  river and the Ashley
  charleston, won't you bury me
 
 i'm the daughter of  merchant
 claimed the  line
  his spirit to the crash of '29
 left  family bound for europe on the adeline
 packed  things and left my mom and dad behind
 
  the churches spot the skyline in an endless dawn
  on rainbow row we'd walk the waterfront
 there he told me  would take me
  it could not be
 so i  the man i loved in charleston
 
 i  old, i am weary
 and i'm coming home to 
 would you bury me by the old oak 
  the river and the Ashley
 oh charleston, won't  bury me
 
 busted galleys, sick  soldiers
 found  navy man
 wrote the queen to have him  his term with me
 I love my husband and my children but these my final 
 I am  and charleston calls to me
 
  I see its painted porches
 all  lazy noons
 sipping tea until the evening 
 and the graveyard where my  lay his southern bones
 I can  them now the church bells sing my name
 
 i  old, i am weary
 and i'm coming home to 
 would you  me by the old oak tree
 'tween the  and the Ashley
 oh charleston, won't you bury
