Well, there's one kind favor I'll ask of you.
One kind favor I'lI ask of you.
Oh, there's one kind favor I'll ask of you
See that my grave is kept clean.
There's two white horses in the line
Two white horses in a line.
Two white horses in a line
Gonna take me to my burying ground.
Well, my heart stop beating, my hands got cold
When my heart stop beating and my hands are cold
When my heart stop beating and my hands are cold
I'll believe that's what the Bible told
Did you hear a coffin sound
Did you hear a coffin sound
Did you ever hear a coffin sound
Then you know that the poor boy's in the ground.
Dig my grave with a silver spade
Will you dig my grave with a silver spade?
Dig my grave with a silver spade
Let me down the golden chain.
Have you heard a church bell toll
Ever hear a church bell toll?
Did you ever hear a church bell toll
Then you know that the poor boy's dead and gone.
(I feel so good..)
One kind favor I'll ask of you
One kind favor I'll ask of you
It's one kind favor I'll ask of you
Please see that my grave is kept clean.
