Cemetery Blues
Cemetery Blues: Unveiling the Melancholy of Isolation and Burial
Lyrics
I don’t live life like I should
I do not lead my life in the way I should.
I’ll never run off to Hollywood
I will not pursue a glamorous lifestyle in Hollywood.
I won’t speed with my hair down
I won't drive recklessly with my hair flowing.
I don’t dance if anyone’s around
I avoid dancing if there are people around.
If you were there maybe I would go
If you were present, perhaps I would act differently.
You left me here abashed and all alone
You left me feeling embarrassed and completely alone.
Now who’s gonna bury me
Now, who will perform the act of burying me?
Who’s gonna bury me
Who will be the one to bury me?
Who will be at the cemetery
Who will be present at the cemetery?
At my grave on my day
Who will be at my grave on the day of my death?
I don’t like to talk to anyone
I prefer not to engage in conversations with anyone.
When I go out I’m never fun
My outings are not enjoyable; I'm not a fun person.
I don’t smile and I never drink
I do not smile, and I refrain from consuming alcoholic beverages.
I’m afraid of what everybody thinks
I fear the judgment of others and what they might think of me.
You left me here abashed and all alone
You left me feeling embarrassed and completely alone (repeated).
Now who’s gonna bury me
Now, who will perform the act of burying me? (repeated).
Who’s gonna bury me
Who will be the one to bury me? (repeated).
Who will be at the cemetery
Who will be present at the cemetery? (repeated).
At my grave on my day
Who will be at my grave on the day of my death? (repeated).
