I'm gonna dig me a hole, I'm gonna bury my heart
Let it rest in pieces out in my backyard
I'll lay a wreath of roses on a blue tombstone
I'm gonna dig me a hole lord, I'm gonna bury my heart
Well it just stopped beating one winter night
The very moment that she said goodbye
And one more lost love is too much to bare
This time it's broken beyond repair
In the stone cold ground, I'm gonna chip away
A six feet down more to it's resting place
All you memories come shake the hand
Of the soul survivor of this lonely man
Gonna dig me a hole lord, I'm gonna bury my heart
Let it rest in pieces out in my backyard
I'll lay a wreath of roses on a blue tombstone
I'm gonna dig me a hole lord, I'm gonna bury my heart
Well it just stopped beating one winter night
The very moment that she said goodbye
And one more lost love is too much to bare
This time it's broken beyond repair
In the stone cold ground, I'm gonna chip away
A six feet down more to it's resting place
All you memories come shake the hand
Of the soul survivor of this lonely man
Gonna dig me a hole lord, I'm gonna bury my heart
