[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Oh lordy Lord
Oh lordy me
Oh Lord, oh Lord
Oh lordy me
[Verse 2]
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"
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
[Chorus]
Oh lordy Lord
Oh lordy me
Oh Lord, oh Lord
Oh lordy me
[Verse 2]
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"
