Good Lord I know
There's one favor I ask of you
I got one kind favor to ask of you
There's one more thing before I go
Won't you see that my grave is kept clean
It's a long long lane that ain't gonna end
It's a long long lane that ain't got no end
Here comes that train, it ain't no friend
I gotta get on board, take me there
Have you ever heard a coffin sound
Have you ever heard a coffin sound
And I think it's time to take me down
You know the poor boys in the ground
Dig my grave with a silver spade
I want you all to listen
you may place four diamonds on my grave
Have you ever heard a death bell toll
Have you ever heard a dead bell toll
Then you know the poor boys dead and gone
Then you know the poor boys dead and gone
Ooo- dead and gone
