[Verse 1] I wake up to another day Sun wont shine, skys full of gray Ive got to go, lace up my shoes Ive got them low, down, cold, graveyard blues We were wed, was in the spring Flowers bloomed, the birds did sing Of life to come, I never knew That Id have them low, down, cold, graveyard blues [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 2] So fair and kind, she brought me joy Soon she gave a baby boy But from our home, fate did remove And brought them low, down, cold, graveyard blues With broken hearts, we labored on Day after day, here on this farm We marked the spot with a stone so smooth And fought them low, down, cold, graveyard blues [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 3] My darling died of a broken heart From her child, she could not part I laid her down, in an earthen tomb She shed them low, down, cold, graveyard blues [Outro] Upon that spot, I often gaze And place new flowers on their graves Nothing left on earth to lose Except them low, down, cold, graveyard blues Ill lose them low, down, cold, graveyard blues
graveyard, cold, blue, low, interlude
