Shallow Grave - The SteelDrivers

I buried my love with the silver spade

Laid her down in the shallow grave

Can’t keep love in the cold, cold ground

Nothing in the earth can hold her down

She was mine since my youth

She taught me how to stretch the truth

The love we shared

Was something strong

It made me forget about right and wrong

I buried my love with the silver spade

Laid her down in the shallow grave

Can’t keep love in the cold, cold ground

Nothing in the earth can hold her down

(Yeah!)

When darkness comes, she appears

Whispers words I should not hear

Her voice is soft like a summer rain

With a bind that can’t be tamed

I buried my love with the silver spade

Laid her down in the shallow grave

Can’t keep love in the cold, cold ground

Nothing in the earth can hold her down

I buried my love with the silver spade

Laid her down in the shallow grave

Can’t keep love in the cold, cold ground

Nothing in the earth can hold her down

Oh, I buried my love!

In a shallow grave
