Lay My Lily Down

Lyrics

Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
To lay my Lily down
Lay my Lily down
The first time I saw my new-born girl
She was pulling on her moma's hair
The sun coming through the window
I'd have known her anywhere

Gonna lay my Lily down
Lay my Lily down
Wake up, wake up my sleeping child
Come learn to laugh at hell
'Cause the Pharoah's fire in your daddy's blood
Runs in your veins as well

The last time I saw little Lily
She was staring at the windswept sea
With two pearl-handled pistols
And a banjo on her knee

Oh, lay my Lily down
Lay my Lily down
Oh, lay my Lily down
Lay my Lily down...
