#Lankum #GoDigMyGrave

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
