Verse 1
(G major) Bury me in my overalls,
don't use (D major) my gabardine.
Bury me in my overalls
or (G major) in my beat -up jeans.
(C major) This suit cost me two weeks'
so (G major) let it live another day
and bury (D major) me in my (G major) overalls.
Now the undertaker will get my door,
the (D major) grave will get my bone
What is left has got to go
for one (G major) of them granite stones
Give (C major) my suit to Uncle Jake,
he (G major) can wear it at my (C major) wake (G major)
(D major) And bury me in my (G major) old rock
It is a quiet place, there's (D major) no labor there
I can rest more easy
in the clothes (G major) I always wear
This (C major) suit was made for warmer climes,
hol (G major) idays and happy times
So (D major) bury me in my (G major) overalls
And when I get to heaven
where the (D major) tally work is in,
I open up them pearly gates
and I (G major) holler, come on in.
Work (C major) ing stiff like you we know,
(G major) head is share of hell below,
so come (D major) to glory in your overall (G major) s.

Applause .
