Bluegrass Songs - Grave in the valley

Grave in the valley

    There's grave in the bend of the valley
    Here the shadows sweep over so still
    Here my darling is sleeping so peaceful
    In a gave at the foot of the hill

On the night when I'm lonely and thinking
Of my sweet heart who is now gone away
I go back to the place where she's sleeping
I'm just waiting to see her some day

 * Refrain

God gave us the joy that we wished for
Just a few days together we'll be
Then he carried her to Heaven's bright portal
There where she will be waiting for me

 * Refrain

For I often go back to the valley
Where the willows weep over her head
There to be just once more with my darling
By her side tho' I know she is dead

 * Refrain
