Folk and Traditional Song Lyrics:
Go and Dig My Grave

Go and Dig My Grave

Go and Dig My Grave

   Go and dig my grave, both long and narrow;
   Make my coffin neat and strong,
   Go and dig my grave, both long and narrow;
   Make my coffin neat and strong,

Two to my head, Two to my feet

Two to carry me, Lord, when  I die

Two to my head, two to my feet

Two to carry me, lord, when I die

   My soul's gonna shine like a star,
   My soul's gonna shine like a star,
   My soul's gonna shine like a star, like a star
   My soul's gonna shine like a star,
   Lord, I'm bound for heaven when I die.

   My soul's gonna shine like a star,
   Gonna twinkle and twinkle like a little star,
   My soul's gonna shine like a star,
   Lord I'm bound for heaven when I die.

   (repeat from beginning)
