The Shallow Grave
Lay me in a shallow grave
Grass above, the wind doth wave
No time left for me to save--
Never more an earthly slave
Look on me and you will see
In my eyes, eternity
All these days of work and pain
Fallen like a gentle rain
Death came calling without warning
Death found me alone this morning
All my earthly plans and schemes
Proved to be such fruitless dreams
Do not look on me and grieve
It’s time to go, I’m glad to leave
Leaving death now stranded here
The sky above is fresh and clear
Lay me in a shallow grave
Grass above, the wind doth wave
No time left for me to save--
Never more an earthly slave
Look on me and you will see
In my eyes, eternity
All these days of work and pain
Fallen like a gentle rain
Death came calling without warning
Death found me alone this morning
All my earthly plans and schemes
Proved to be such fruitless dreams
Do not look on me and grieve
It’s time to go, I’m glad to leave
Leaving death now stranded here
The sky above is fresh and clear
