Lyrics
When I was young, I never talked to nobody When I was young, I'd never go nowhere
Expresses isolation and introversion during youth, avoiding communication and exploration.
When I was young, I didn't have no problems No tribulation in the atmosphere, but
Reflects a trouble-free past with no challenges or difficulties, a calm atmosphere.
They're gonna bury me six feet under They're gonna bury me six feet down
Anticipates a future burial, suggesting a sense of inevitability and acceptance of mortality.
They're gonna bury me six feet under They're gonna bury me six feet down, oh

Oh Six feet down

And when I died, I didn't have a funeral Although a hundred people gathered round
Describes a death without a formal ceremony, highlighting a lack of recognition or remembrance.
No one gave me a proper burial A single shovel didn't break the ground
Expresses neglect in death, lacking a proper burial ceremony and the attention it deserves.
Decades later, I have found the answer My mortal coil I have finally found
Suggests a revelation or understanding gained over time regarding the meaning of life and death.
I'll make them bury me six feet under They're gonna bury me six feet down, oh
Reaffirms the acceptance of being buried, possibly indicating a resolution to embrace mortality.
