They carried my girl to the burying ground
They carried my girl to the burying ground
They carried my girl to the burying ground
I watched her as they laid her down
Today has been a lonesome day
Today has been a lonesome day
Today has been a lonesome day
And tommorrow gonna be the same old way
Go big my grave with a silver spade
Go big my grave with a silver spade
Go big my grave with a silver spade
And mark the plce where I'll be laid
*Refrain
Dig you ever here a church bell toll
Dig you ever here a church bell toll
Dig you ever here a church bell toll
You'll know by that I'm dead and gone
*Refrain
