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 hope
And he 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

Go dig my grave

And on my breast
A snow white dove
