Lay My Lily Down

[Chorus] 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 [Verse 1] Well, the first time I saw my newborn girl She was pulling on her mama's hair The sun coming through the window And I'd have known her anywhere [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] Wanna lay my Lily down Lay my Lily down [Verse 2] Wake up, wake up, my sleeping child Come learn to laugh at hell 'Cause the Pharaoh's fire in your daddy's blood Runs in your veins as well [Chorus] 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 Oh, lay my Lily down Lay my Lily down [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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 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 Oh, lay my Lily down [Outro] Lay my Lily down Lay my Lily down Lay my Lily down Oh, lay my Lily down
