The Carter Family - See That My Grave Is Kept Green lyrics

When I am dead and gone from you, darling When I am laid away in my grave When my spirit has gone to heaven above To him whom my soul will save Oh, the day will come to you, darling When no more on earth I'll be seen There's one little wish, darling, grant me See that my grave is kept green When from this world I go Leaving forever the scene While others are dead, oh, will you then See that my grave is kept green Oh, the hour of joy is pa**ing But, alas, how soon it will fade Your glances of love are meeting my own And sunlight will turn to shade Oh, the day will come to you, darling When no more on earth I'll be seen There's one little wish, darling, grant me See that my grave is kept green When from this world I go Leaving forever the scene While others are dead, oh, will you then See that my grave is kept green I shall never be happy again, my love Never be happy again For girls in her teens don't know what love means I shall never be happy again When from this world I go Leaving forever the scene While others are dead, oh, will you then See that my grave is kept green
