Mama, don't let them bury me
Please pick me up and carry me
Far from the cemetery
It's dark in here; I can hardly move
And I hear digging outside
Someone is whistling a mournful tune
I wish I was still alive
Mama, don't let them bury me
Please pick me up and carry me
Far from the cemetery
My prison is moving; I feel a bump
They're putting me down in the ground
Above my head I hear a thump
I try to cry out loud
Mama, don't let them bury me
Please pick me up and carry me
Far from the cemetery
Far from the cemetery
