Graveyard Blues Lyrics

I've lost the one who loved me
I'll never more see her alive
So I'll sit here in this graveyard
Join you in the bye-and-bye
Yes I've lost the one who loved me
I'm so lonesome I could cry
Got my back against a tombstone
And I'm fixin' for to die
Yes I'm fixin for to die

All around me now is darkness
Eternal darkness black as coal
Fall to my knees and pray to heaven
Won't you please lift up my lonesome soul
All around me now is darkness
There's no light, no stars no moon
As I rest beside my darlin'
With these weary graveyard blues
With these weary graveyard blues
Made you promise when I met you
You would not die before I did
I can't bear to live without you
All these feelings I can't keep hid
Made you promise when I met you
But that's one promise you did not keep
Now I'll sit here in this graveyard
And I'm fixin' for to die
Yes I'm fixin' for to die
I'm fixin' for to die
