I THINK I'M GONNA KILL MYSELF 
(Buddy Knox)

Waylon Jennings - 1977

 

So long to you, hope I don't make you blue
Think I'm gonna kill myself, think I'm gonna kill myself
Apart we've grown, Lord, I can't go on alone
Think I'm gonna kill myself, think I'm gonna kill myself

Now dig my grave with a silver spade
A golden chain lay me down and down
Send my remains to my best friend
The rest to my hole in the ground
Send the rest to my hole in the ground

I bow my head 'cause in the mornin' I'm a gonna be dead
Think I'm gonna kill myself, think I'm gonna kill myself

(Instrumental Break)

Now dig my grave with a silver spade
A golden chain lay me down
Send my remains to my best friend
The rest to my hole in the ground
The rest to my hole in the ground

Bop-bop-a-tudy-bop
Bop-bop-a-tudy-bop
Bop-bop-a-tudy-bop

Bop-bop-a-tudy-bop
Bop-bop-a-tudy-bop
Bop-bop-a-tudy-bop
