Lonely Mound of Clay
Besides a new made grave heartbroken my love for herWon't let me go awayAnd leave her there to sleep forever all alone beneathThat lonely mound of clayOh Lord, why did you take her from me?Why didn't you take me away?So I could have been there beside herAll alone beneath that lonely mound of clayMany times I've looked toward heavenAnd pray she wouldn't be taken awayBut this sinner's prayer is never answeredSo she's sleeping now beneath the clayI stay here beside you, little darlingAnd I promise that I'll never go awayUntil my life down here is overThen I'll be with you beneath the clayOh Lord, why did you take her from me?Why didn't you take me away?So I could have been there beside herAll alone beneath that lonely mound of clay From Letras Mania
