Hickory oak pine and weed

Bury my heart underneath these trees

And when a southern wind comes to raise my soul

Spread my spirit like a flock of crows

Cause I've loved you for too long

I've loved you for too long

I've loved you for too long

Old heat of a raging fire

Come and light my eyes

Summer's kiss to electric wire

But I'll never die

Sicamore ash moss and gnome

Wrap my roots all around my bones

And when they come for me

When they call my name

Cast my shadow from a bellow's flame

Cause I've loved you for too long

I've loved you for too long

I've loved you for too long

Old heat of a raging fire

Come and light my eyes

Summer's kiss to electric wire

But I'll never die

I will never die

You can bury my body but I'll never die

In the dead of the night

I'm gonna loose this chain

I'm gonna run and run and run and run and run

I'm gonna run and run and run and run

Coming for you again

Oh

So let the storm come

Old heat of a raging fire

Come and light my eyes

Summer's kiss to electric wire

But I'll never die

I will never die

You can bury my body but I'll never die

Hickory oak pine and weed

Bury my heart underneath these trees
