Well I've begun these lonesome days

Go [Em] dig my [E]
grave, [Em] old [E]
Wendy
[Bm] Place a marble [Em]
stone, [E] that might end my pain
[Em] Oh Lordy me, oh Lord oh [E] Lordy me
[Em] She went upstairs [E] to make her bed
Had [Em] not one word [E] to her mama say
[Em] Her mama she went upstairs to
[Bm] Saying [Em] daughter, oh daughter, [A] what [E] troubles you
Oh [Em] mama dear, I cannot tell
[E] That [Em]
railroad boy [E] I loved so well
He [Em]
courted [Bm] [Em] me, my love away

Oh [Em]

Lordy me, oh Lord oh [E]
Lordy me
Her [Em] papa [D] [Em] he come home from work
Saying where's my daughter, [E] she seems so hurt
He [Em] went upstairs to give her [E] [Em] hope
[E] And he found her [Em] [E] hanging
Oh [Em]
[E] [Em]
[E] Lord oh Lordy me
Well he [Em] took his knife and he cut [E] her down
And in [G] her [E] bosom, these words he found
Go [Em] dig my [D] [Em] grave, old Wendy
[E] Place a marble [Em] stone, [E] that might end my pain
And [Em] on my breast [E] place a small white dove
[Bm] To [Em] tell this [E] world that poor love
[Em]
[E] [Em]
Oh Lordy me, oh Lord [E] oh Lordy me
[B]
[Cm] [Ab] Thank you
