Lyrics

I buried my love with a silver spade
Laid her down in a shallow grave
Can't keep love in the cold, cold ground
Nothin' 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 somethin' strong
It made me forget about right and wrong
I buried my love with a silver spade
Laid her down in a shallow grave
Can't keep love in the cold, cold ground
Nothin' in the earth can hold her down
When darkness comes, she appears
Whispers words I should not hear
Her voice is soft like a summer rain
With a might that can't be tamed
I buried my love with a silver spade
Laid her down In a shallow grave
Can't keep love in the cold, cold ground
Nothin' in the earth can hold her down
I buried my love with a silver spade
Laid her down in a shallow grave
Can't keep love in the cold, cold ground
Nothin' in the earth can hold her down
Oh, I buried my love
In a shallow grave
