Beside a new made grave heartbroken my love for her won't let me go away
|
And leave her there to sleep forever all alone beneath that lonely mound of clay
|
|
Oh Lord why did you take her from me why didn't you take me away
|
So I could have been there beside her all alone beneath that lonely mound of clay
|
|
Many times I've looked toward heaven and pray she wouldn't be taken away
|
But this sinner's prayer is never answered so she's sleeping now beneath the clay
|
[ dobro ]
|
I stay here beside you little darling and I promise that I'll never go away
|
Until my life down here is over then I'll be with you beneath the clay
|
|
Oh Lord why did you take her...
