Beside a new -made grave,
My love for her won't let me go away
And leave her here to sleep forever
All alone beneath that lonely mound of clay
Oh, Lord, why did you take her from me
Why didn't you take me away
So I could have been there beside her
All alone beneath that lonely pound
Many times I've looked toward heaven
And prayed she wouldn't be taken away
I'll stay here beside you little darling
And I promise I'll never go away
Until my life here is over,
And I'll be with you beneath the clays.
