[Verse 1]
Oh well, a one kind favor I'll ask of you
Well, there's one kind favor I will ask of you
Well, there's one kind favor I will ask of you
Please see that my grave is kept clean
[Verse 2]
Oh well ah, two white horses in a line
There's two horses in a line
Well, there's two white horses ye-ah in a line
Gonna take me down to the burial ground
[Verse 3]
Did you ever hear a coffin sound?
Did you ever hear a coffin sound?
Did you ever hear, Lord, that coffin sound?
Then you know that the po' boy is in the ground
[Verse 4]
You can dig my grave with a silver spade
You can dig my grave with a silver spade
You can dig my grave with a silver spade
You may lead me down with a golden chain

[Verse 5]
Did you ever hear the church bell toll?
Did you ever hear the church bell toll?
Did you ever hear, Lord, that church bell toll?
Then you know that the po' boy's dead and gone
[Verse 6]
It's a long, long lane ain't got no end
It's a long, long lane ain't got no end
Yeah, it's a long, long lane, Lord, ain't got no end
It's a bad way that don't ever change
[Outro]
I said it don't ever change
Ah, don't ever change
I said it don't ever change
I said it don't ever change
I said it don't ever change
I said it don't ever change
