[Verse 1]
Go dig my grave both wide and deep
Place a marble stone at my head and my feet
And on my breast a snow-white dove
To tell this world I died for love

[Chorus]
O Lord, O Lord, O Lordie me!
O Lord, O Lord, O Lordie me!

[Verse 2]
Well, I be gone these lonesome days
I'll return again, here is what I'll say
Go dig my grave both wide and deep
Place a marble stone at my head and my feet

[Chorus]
Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo
O Lord, O Lord, O Lordie me!
