I'm gonna dig me a hole I'm gonna bury my heart I'll let it rest in pieces Out in my back yard I'll lay a wreath of roses On a blue tombstone I'm gonna dig me a hole, Lord I'm gonna bury my heart Well, it just stopped beating one winter night The very moment that she said goodbye And one more lost love is too much to bear Well, this time it's broken beyond repair I'm gonna dig me a hole I'm gonna bury my heart I'll let it rest in pieces Out in my back yard I'll lay a wreath of roses On a blue tombstone I'm gonna dig me a hole, Lord I'm gonna bury my heart In the stone cold ground, I'm gonna chip away A six feet down more to it's resting place All you memories come shake my hand Of the sole survivor of this lonely man I'm gonna dig me a hole I'm gonna bury my heart I'll let it rest in pieces Out in my back yard Lay a wreath of roses On a blue tombstone I'm gonna dig me a hole, Lord I'm gonna bury my heart I'm gonna dig me a hole Gonna bury my heart I'll let it rest in pieces Out in my back yard I'll lay a wreath of roses On a blue tombstone I'm gonna dig me a hole, Lord I'm gonna bury my heart Gonna dig me a hole, Lord I'm gonna bury my heart
