Lonesome Day
They carried my girl to the burning ground
They carried my girl to the burning ground
They carried my girl to the burning ground
I watched her as they laid her down
Today has been a lonesome day
Today has been a lonesome day
Today has been a lonesome day
Tomorrow's gonna be the same ol' way
[ banjo ]
Go dig my grave with the silver spade
Go dig my grave with the silver spade
Go dig my grave with the silver spade
Mark the place where I'll be laid
Today has been a lonesome day...
[ fiddle ]
Did you ever hear the church bell tone
Did you ever hear the church bell tone
Did you ever hear the church bell tone
You'll know by that I'm dead and gone
Today has been a lonesome day...
