Subject: RE: Lyr Add: NEW BURYIN' GROUND
My Group does New Burying Ground, which we learned from a recording by the Sensational Nightingales. The lyrics are:

Oh, I wonder can you hear, those church bells tollin'
I wonder can you hear, those church bells tollin'
I wonder can you hear, those church bells tollin'
Way over yonder, way over yonder, way over yonder
In the new burying ground

I wonder can you see, those hearse wheels rollin'
I wonder can you see, those hearse wheels rollin'
I wonder can you see, those hearse wheels rollin'(BR> Way over yonder, way over yonder, way over yonder
In the new burying ground

They kept on rollin', 'till they carried my Father
They kept on rollin', 'till they carried my Father
They kept on rollin', 'till they carried my Father
Way over yonder, way over yonder, way over yonder
In the new burying ground

And what about my Mother?
Way over yonder
She's way over there
Way over yonder
And what about my Sister?

etc.

It sounds much better than it looks. It will be on the CD we're recording.
