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
