Lyrics
scatter my ashes on the back pasture
give me unto the wind
oh give me unto the wind
then take a walk down by Bear Creek
where the wild laurel smells so sweet
where the wild laurel smells so sweet
Just make one promise to me before I go
don't shed a tear for me
For I've had more love than one girl deserves
don't cry for me, don't cry for me
And as the sun sets behind Sand Mountain
raise a glass for me, oh raise a glass for me
And as the moon rises in the east
hear the katydids sing, oh hear the katydids sing
Just make one promise to me before I go
Don't shed a tear for me, for I've had more love than one girl deserves
Don't cry for me, don't cry for me
