Go Dig My Grave
Well I'll be gone these lonesome days
I turn again, these words I say
Go dig my grave both wide and deep
Place a marble stone at my head and feet
Oh Lord oh Lord oh Lordie me (x2)
She went upstairs just to make her bed
And not one word to her mama said
Her mama she went upstairs too
Says "daughter oh daughter, what troubles you?"
"Oh, mama dear I cannot tell
That railroad boy I love so well...
He courted me, my love away
And now with me he will not stay"
Oh Lord oh Lord oh Lordie me (x2)
Her papa he come home from work
Says where's my daughter?
She seems so hurt
He went upstairs just to give her hope
And he found her hanging from a rope
Oh Lord oh Lord oh Lordie me (x2)
Well he took his knife and he cut her down
And in her bosom these words he found
"Go dig my grave both wide and deep
Place a marble stone at my head and feet
And on my breast place a snow white dove
To tell this world I died for love"
Oh Lord oh Lord oh Lordie me (x2)
I turn again, these words I say
Go dig my grave both wide and deep
Place a marble stone at my head and feet
Oh Lord oh Lord oh Lordie me (x2)
She went upstairs just to make her bed
And not one word to her mama said
Her mama she went upstairs too
Says "daughter oh daughter, what troubles you?"
"Oh, mama dear I cannot tell
That railroad boy I love so well...
He courted me, my love away
And now with me he will not stay"
Oh Lord oh Lord oh Lordie me (x2)
Her papa he come home from work
Says where's my daughter?
She seems so hurt
He went upstairs just to give her hope
And he found her hanging from a rope
Oh Lord oh Lord oh Lordie me (x2)
Well he took his knife and he cut her down
And in her bosom these words he found
"Go dig my grave both wide and deep
Place a marble stone at my head and feet
And on my breast place a snow white dove
To tell this world I died for love"
Oh Lord oh Lord oh Lordie me (x2)
