Well, there's one kind favor I'll ask of you
There's one kind favor I'll ask of you
There's one kind favor I'll ask of you
Won't you see that my grave is kept clean
Now there's two white horses following me
There's two white horses following me
There's two white horses following me
Lord, they're waiting on my burying ground
Did you ever hear a coffin sound?
Did you ever hear a coffin sound?
Did you ever hear a coffin sound?
Means another poor boy is underground
Won't you go dig my grave with a silver spade
Won't you go dig my grave with a silver spade
Won't you go dig my grave with a silver spade
Lord, and see my grave digger gets paid
Did you ever hear them church bells toll?
Did you ever hear them church bells toll?
Did you ever hear them church bells toll?
Means another poor boy is dead and gone
Now there's six white horses in a line
There's six white horses in a line
There's six white horses all in a line
Lord, they're taking me to my burying ground
It's a long old road that ever ends
It's a long old road that ever ends
It's a long old trail that never ends
It's a bad wind that never changes
Well my heart stopped beatin' and my hands turned cold
My heart stopped beatin' and my hands turned cold
My heart stopped beatin', Lord, my hands turned cold
Now I believe what the bible told
There's just one last favor I'll ask of you
There's one last favor I'll ask of you
There's one last favor I'll ask of you
Won't you see that my grave is kept clean
