Bob Weir - Lay My Lily Down Lyrics

Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
To lay my Lily down
To lay my Lily down

The first time I saw my new-born girl
She was pulling on her momma's hair
The sun coming through the window
I'd have known her anywhere
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
To lay my Lily down
To lay my Lily down

Wake up, wake up my sleeping child
Come learn to laugh at hell
'Cause the feral fire in your daddy's blood
Runs in your veins as well
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
To lay my Lily down
To lay my Lily down

The last time I saw my baby girl
She was staring at the windswept sea
With two pearl-handled pistols
And a banjo on her knee
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
To lay my Lily down
To lay my Lily down

Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
To lay my Lily down

Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
To lay my Lily down

Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
To lay my Lily down
To lay my Lily down
To lay my Lily down
To lay my Lily down
To lay my Lily down
