The flowers are wilted
The preacher's gone
And I'm left here jilted
On the church-house lawn

Through the old graveyard
I'm gonna walk around
And bury my heart
Where it won't be found

Six foot under
Six foot under
Six foot under
Down in the cold, cold ground

Like a fool I trusted
Your honey-like words
Now my heart is broken
It's all for the birds

In a deep deep hole
I'll vanish safe and sound
Where you can't get to it
And kick it around

Six foot under
Six foot under
Six foot under
I'm down in the cold, cold ground
Six foot under
Six foot under
Six foot undеr
Down in the cold, cold ground
