Oh Lord, why did you take her from me? Why didn't you take me away? So I could have been there beside her All alone beneath that lonely mound of clay. I stay here beside you little darling And I promise I'll never go away Until my life down here is over Then I'll be with you beneath that mound of clay. Oh Lord, why did you take her from me? Why didn't you take me away? So I could have been there beside her All alone beneath that lonely mound of clay All alone beneath that lonely mound of clay.
