Lonely Mound of Clay

Beside a new made grave, heartbroken
My love for her won’t let me go away
And leave her there to sleep forever
All alone beneath that lonely mound of clay
Oh, Lord, why did you take her from me
Why didn’t you take me away
So I could have been there beside her
All alone beneath that lonely mound of clay
Many times I’ve looked toward heaven
And prayed she wouldn’t go away
But this sinner’s prayer wasn’t answered
So she’s sleeps beneath that lonely mound of clay
Oh, Lord, why did you take her from me
Why didn’t you take me away
So I could have been there beside her
All alone beneath that lonely mound of clay
