That Lonesome Grave Where My True Love Lies Song Lyrics
Underneath the weeping willow tree
There's a lonesome grave that calls to me
Where my true love lies in eternal sleep
In a bed of earth, six feet deep
Chorus:
That lonesome grave, it haunts my dreams
Where my true love rests, it seems
I come to visit, to lay down flowers
But oh, how I long for just one more hour
Verse 2:
The birds sing a mournful melody
As I kneel down on bended knee
Tears fall like rain on the cold, hard ground
As I whisper words, without a sound
Chorus:
That lonesome grave, it haunts my dreams
Where my true love rests, it seems
I come to visit, to lay down flowers
But oh, how I long for just one more hour
Bridge:
The sun sets, casting shadows long
As I sit and sing our favorite song
In this quiet place, I feel close to you
But oh, how I wish it wasn't true
Chorus:
That lonesome grave, it haunts my dreams
Where my true love rests, it seems
I come to visit, to lay down flowers
But oh, how I long for just one more hour
Outro:
As the moon rises in the starry sky
I wipe my tears and say goodbye
To that lonesome grave where my true love lies
Until we meet again, my love, goodbye.
Underneath the weeping willow tree
There's a lonesome grave that calls to me
Where my true love lies in eternal sleep
In a bed of earth, six feet deep
Chorus:
That lonesome grave, it haunts my dreams
Where my true love rests, it seems
I come to visit, to lay down flowers
But oh, how I long for just one more hour
Verse 2:
The birds sing a mournful melody
As I kneel down on bended knee
Tears fall like rain on the cold, hard ground
As I whisper words, without a sound
Chorus:
That lonesome grave, it haunts my dreams
Where my true love rests, it seems
I come to visit, to lay down flowers
But oh, how I long for just one more hour
Bridge:
The sun sets, casting shadows long
As I sit and sing our favorite song
In this quiet place, I feel close to you
But oh, how I wish it wasn't true

Where my true love rests, it seems
I come to visit, to lay down flowers
But oh, how I long for just one more hour
Outro:

I wipe my tears and say goodbye
To that lonesome grave where my true love lies
Until we meet again, my love, goodbye.
