Lonesome Day lyrics

They carried my girl to the burning ground They carried my girl to the burning ground They carried my girl to the burning ground I watched her as they laid her down Today has been a lonesome day Today has been a lonesome day Today has been a lonesome day Tomorrow's gonna be the same ol' way [ banjo ] Go dig my grave with the silver spade Go dig my grave with the silver spade Go dig my grave with the silver spade Mark the place where I'll be laid Today has been a lonesome day... [ fiddle ] Did you ever hear the church bell tone Did you ever hear the church bell tone Did you ever hear the church bell tone You'll know by that I'm dead and gone Today has been a lonesome day...
