lyrics

My poor husband I laid him low
when I cut him with my knife
My husband counted many a foe
and among them me his wife

I dragged his body right out the door
to bury him in the ground
and as my muscles getting sore
he was only two feet down
I walked back to my kitchen door
as the rain fell from the sky
but I knew that it was just my Lord
as the tears fell from His eye

Then there was this terrible sound
of a banging upon my door
and throwing open that wooden gate
there lied my husband’s corpse
His cold, cold eyes they held my own
as I heard a wailing plea
then I realized that they were my own
saying, “Please, Lord, forgive me”

So if you’re going to dig a grave
make sure you dig it deep
for a shallow grave will rise them up
when the Lord begins to weep
