lyrics

Go Dig My Grave
(Traditional)

Well I be gone these lonesome days
I’ll return again, here’s what I’ll say
Go dig my grave both wide and deep
Place a marble stone at my head and my feet

O Lord O Lord O Lordie me!

She went upstairs 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.’

O Lord O Lord O Lordie me!

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

O Lord O Lord O Lordie me!

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 put s snow white dove
to tell this world I died for love

O Lord O Lord O Lordie me!
