Oh, today has been a lonesome day,
Today has been a lonesome day,
Today has been a lonesome day,
And it seems tomorrow'll be the same old way.
Oh they carried my mother to the burying ground,
They carried my mother to the burying ground,
They carried my mother to the burying ground,
And watched the pallbearers let her down.
Did you ever hear a church bell tone?
Did you ever hear a church bell tone?
Did you ever hear a church bell tone?
You may know by that she's dead and gone.
Oh, dig my grave with a silver spade,
Oh, dig my grave with a silver spade,
Oh, dig my grave with a silver spade,
And mark the place where I must lay.
There's one kind favor I ask of you,
There's one kind favor I ask of you,
There's one kind favor I ask of you,
That's to see that my grave is kept green.
