I buried my love with the silver spade
Layed her down on the shallow grave
Can't keep lovin' the cold cold ground
Nothing in the world can't get her down
She was mine since my youth
She taught me how to strain the truth
The love we shared
Was something strong
It made me forget about the right and wrong
I buried my love with the silver spade
Layed her down on the shallow grave
Can't keep lovin' the cold cold ground
Nothing in the world can't get her down
(Yeah!)
When darkness comes, she appears
Whispers words I should not hear
Her voice is soft like a summer rain
With a bain like candy tane
I buried my love with the silver spade
Layed her down on the shallow grave
Can't keep lovin' the cold cold ground
Nothing in the world can't get her down
Uh, I buried my love
In the shallow grave
