i am old, i am weary
and i'm coming home to die
would you bury me by the old oak tree
'tween the and the Ashley
oh charleston, won't you bury me

i'm the daughter of merchant
claimed the seabrook line
lost his spirit to the crash of '29
my family bound for europe on the adeline
packed my things and left my mom and dad behind

there the churches spot the skyline in an endless dawn
and rainbow row we'd walk the waterfront
there he told me he would take me
but it could not be
so i left the man i loved in charleston

i am old, i am weary
and i'm coming home to die
would bury me by the old oak tree
'tween the river the Ashley
oh charleston, won't you bury me

busted galleys, sick dead soldiers
found a navy man
wrote the queen to have him stay his term with
I love my husband and my children but these my final days
I am weary, and charleston calls to me

now I its painted porches
all the lazy noons
sipping tea until the evening came
and the graveyard where my father lay his southern bones
I can hear them now the church bells sing my name

i am old, i weary
and i'm coming to die
would you bury me by the old oak tree
'tween the river and the Ashley
oh charleston, won't you bury me
