Dig a grave, a grave, a grave for my friend
I will lay thee in
A grave, a grave, a grave for my friend
I will lay thee in
We've been living so long in the same place
You will go underground
Have no fear my darling friend
My memory of you is sound
Your ghost can stop and knock on my door
I surely would open it up
Your ghost could stop and stay for a round
I would truly be living it up
Dig a grave, a grave, a grave for my kin
I will lay thee in
A grave, a grave, a grave for my kin
I will lay thee in
We've been living so long in the same place
You will go underground
Have no fear my darling friend
I'm sure you will be around
Your ghost can stop and knock on my door
I surely would open it up
Your ghost could stop and stay for a round
I would truly be living it up
Dig a grave, a grave, a grave for my skin
I will lay me in
A grave, a grave, a grave for my skin
I will lay me in
My ghost could stop and knock your door
I hope you would open it up
My ghost could stop and stay for a round
I truly be living it up
