lyrics

Going away don’t you wanna go
Going away don’t you wanna go
Going away don’t you wanna go
Going to my home on the other shore
There is just one kind favor I ask of you
There is one kind favor I ask of you one kind favor I ask of you
See that my grave is kept clean
Dig my grave with a silver spade
Won’t you dig my grave with a silver spade
Dig my grave with a silver spade
Ease me down with a rope and chain
Did you ever hear a church bell tone
Did you ever hear those church bells tone
Have you ever heard church bells tone
Then you know I’m dead and gone
They say those streets are paved with gold
Well they say those streets are paved with gold
But they say the streets they’re paved with gold
Lord have mercy on my soul
Oh lord have mercy on my soul
Lord have mercy on my soul
Oh lord have mercy on my soul
