NP: See That My Grave Is Kept Clean (Blind Lemon Jefferson)

Only one kind favour I ask of you

Well, there's one kind favour I ask of you

Lord, there's one kind favour I'll ask of you

Please [see] that my grave is kept clean

There's a long lane, it's got no end

It's a long lane, it's got no end

It's a long lane, ain't got no end

There's a bad wind that never came

Lord, there's two white horses in a line

Well, there's two white horses in a line

Well, there's two white horses in a line

Gonna take me to my burying ground

My heart stop beating, my hands are cold

My heart stop beating, my hands are cold

Well, my heart stop beating, Lord my hands are cold

It wasn't long [till I understood] what the Bible told

Have you ever heard a coffin sound?

Have you ever heard a coffin sound?

Have you ever heard a coffin sound?

Then you know that the poor boy is in the ground

Oh, dig my grave with a silver spade

Dig my grave with a silver spade

Well, dig my grave with a silver spade

You may lead me down with a golden chain

Have you ever heard a church bell toll?

Have you ever heard a church bell toll?

Have you ever heard a church bell toll?

Then you know that the poor boy is dead and gone
