Lyrics
[Verse 1] Go dig my grave Both wide and deep Place a marble stone At my head and feet And on my breast A snow white dove To tell this world That I died for love [Chorus] Oh lordy Lord Oh lordy me Oh Lord, oh Lord Oh lordy me [Verse 2] She went upstairs For to make her bed And not one word To her mother said Her mother she Went upstairs, too Saying, "Daughter, oh daughter What troubles you?" "Oh, mama dear I cannot tell That railroad boy That I loved so well He courted me My life away And now with me He will not stay" [Chorus] Oh lordy Lord Oh lordy me Oh Lord, oh Lord Oh lordy me [Verse 3] Her father he Came home from work Saying, "Where's my daughter? She seemed so hurt" He went upstairs For to give her hope And he found her hanging By a rope [Chorus] Oh lordy Lord Oh lordy me Oh Lord, oh Lord Oh lordy me [Verse 4] He got his knife For to 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 A snow white dove To tell this world That I died for love [Chorus] Oh lordy Lord Oh lordy me Oh Lord, oh Lord Oh lordy me
