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

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 that 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
All alone beneath that lonely mound of clay
