Lankum - Go Dig My Grave lyrics

Artist: Lankum

album: False Lankum


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
Oh lordy Lord
Oh lordy me
Oh Lord oh Lord
Oh lordy me
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"
Oh lordy Lord
Oh lordy me
Oh Lord oh Lord
Oh lordy me
Her father he
Came home from work
Saying "where's my daughter
She seemed so hurt"
He went upstairs
For to give her hold
And found her hanging
By a rope
Oh lordy Lord
Oh lordy me
Oh Lord oh Lord
Oh lordy me
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
Oh lordy Lord
Oh lordy me
Oh Lord oh Lord
Oh lordy me
