Go dig my grave, both wide and deep
Place a marble stone at my head and my feet
And on my breast a snow white dove
To tell this world I died for love
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lordie me
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lordie me
Well, I be gone these lonesome days
I'll return again, this is what I'll say
Go dig my grave, both wide and deep
Place a marble stone at my head and my feet
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lordie me
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lordie me
