Biografia:
Richard William Curless (March 17, 1932 – May 25, 1995) was an American country-music singer, a pioneer of the trucking music genre, commonly known as the "Baron of Country Music." He was easily distinguished because of the patch he usually wore over his right eye.
Curless was born in Fort Fairfield, Maine, in 1932, and moved with his family to Massachusetts at the age of eight. In 1948, Curless began his music career in Ware, Massachusetts, where he hosted a radio show and toured with a local band called the "Trail Blazers.

[Intro]
G Em G Em
[Verse 1]
G Em
There's a stone in yonder graveyard
G G7
With my name carved in it deep
C G
It don't tell my life story
C G
These things it can't repeat
[Verse 2]
G Em
I never had a family
G G7
I never took a wife
C G
All I had was a bottle
C G
And I drank away my life
[Chorus]
Em
So bury the bottle with me
G G7
For it's what tore me down
C G
So I won't be alone tonight
C G
When they put me in the ground
C G
When they lower my body down
[Verse 3]
G Em
A drunkard is a sinner
G G7
On this I place no doubt
C G
Oh the Lord won't share his palace
C G
With the things he lives without
[Verse 4]
G Em
For the bottle is the devil
G G7
And drinking is his name
C G
Now the bottle is what took my soul
C G
And petrified my brain
[Chorus]
Em
So bury the bottle with me
G G7
For it's what tore me down
C G
So I won't be alone tonight
C G
When they put me in the ground
C G
When they lower my body down
