Know her heart stopped beatin' and the hand got cold

Said her heart stopped beatin' and her hand got cold

Says, you know by that my poor babe dead and gone

Have you ever heard church bell tone?

Have you ever heard a lonesome church bell tone?

Says, you know by that my babe's dead and gone

There was two white horse stand in a line

There is two white horses standin' in a line

Gonna take my baby to her buryin' ground

Lord, you know by that, poor baby's dead and gone

Want you dig her grave with a silver spade

Lordy, dig her grave with a silver spade

Then and let her down with a golden chain

Says, you know by that, my poor babe dead and gone

Lord, I stood there, boy, tears streamin' down

Lord, I stood there, man, you know the tears come rollin' down

Says, you know by that my poor babe dead and gone
