Well, I think I finally found me a sure-fire way to forget
It?s so simple, I'm surprised I hadn't done thought of it before yet
It?s foolproof, well, it?s foolhardy, maybe, but who knows
Anyway, here I am, walkin? down toward where the cold dark water flows
All it takes is

One dyin? and a buryin?, one dyin? and a buryin?
Some cryin?, six carryin? me, I wanna be free
Oh ho, I wanna be free

Free from all this heartache and regret
And free from pinin? for the love I can't forget
The love that once was warm and then just somehow turned to hate
Made my life a prison from which there's only one escape
That's

One dyin? and a buryin?, one dyin? and a buryin?
Some cryin?, six carryin? me, I wanna be free
One dyin? and a buryin?, one dyin? and a buryin?
Some cryin?, six carryin? me, I wanna be free
