Two white horses in a line
Yes, there's two white horses in a line
Yes, gon' and take me to my buryin' ground
Gon' take me to my buryin' ground

Yes, now and dig me a grave with a silver spade
Dig my grave with a silver spade
Yes, and let me down with a golden chain
Dig my grave with a silver spade

[Solo]

Yes, it's a mighty long lane, ain't got no end
Yes, it's a mighty long lane, ain't got no end
Yes, it's a mighty bad wind, don't ever change
It's a long, long lane, ain't got no end

You can dig my grave with a silver spade
You can dig my grave with a silver spade, and
Let me down with a golden chain

Yes, there's two white horses in a line
Yes, there's two white horses in a line
Yes, gon' take me to my buryin' ground
And dig my grave with a silver spade
And lay my old guitar down by my head
And lay my old guitar down by my head
Yes, indeed, Lord, gonna cry, oh Lord
Since all you can say, I'm dead and gone

Yes, there's two white horses in a line
Yes, there's two white horses in a line
They's gonna take me to my buryin' ground
My last, long lane ain't got no end
