Bury the Bottle With Me Lyrics

Bury The Bottle With Me - Dick Curless
He first released this song in 1968 on his Long Lonesome Road album.
Intro: //// //// //// ////
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
Chorus:
So bury the bottle with me
For it's what tore me down
So I won't be a--lone tonight
When they put me in the ground
When they lower my body down
A drunker, is a sinner
On this, I place no doubt
Oh the Lord, won't share his palace
With the things he lives with--out
For the bottle is the devil
And drinking is his name
Now the bottle, is what took my soul
And petrified my brain
Repeat Chorus
