Lonely Mound of Clay |
| Beside a new made grave heartbroken my love for her won’t let me go away |
| And leave her there to sleep forever all alone beneath that lonely mound of clay |
| Oh Lord why did you take her from me why didn’t you take me away |
| So I could have been there beside her all alone beneath that lonely mound of clay |
| Many times I’ve looked toward heaven and pray she wouldn’t be taken away |
| But this sinner’s prayer is never answered so she’s sleeping now beneath the |
| clay |
| I stay here beside you little darling and I promise that I’ll never go away |
| Until my life down here is over then I’ll be with you beneath the clay |
| Oh Lord why did you take her… |
