Well it's one kind favor I'll ask of you
One kind favor I'll ask of you
One kind favor I'll ask of you
Just see that my grave is kept clean

Two white horses in a line
Two white horses in a line
Two white horses in a line
They're gonna take me to my burying ground

Have you ever heard that church bell moan
Have you ever heard that church bell moan
Have you ever heard that church bell moan
Then you know another boy's dead and gone

Have you ever hеard that coffin sound
Have you ever hеard that coffin sound
Have you ever heard that coffin sound
Then you know another boy's in the ground

You may dig my grave with a silver spade
You may dig my grave with a silver spade
You may dig with a silver spade
You may lower me down with a golden chain

It's a long road that has no end
It's a long road that has no end
It's a long road that has no end
It's a long trail that has no turn
Well it's one kind favor I'll ask of you
One kind favor I'll ask of you
One I'll ask of you
Just see that my grave is kept clean
