Bob Weir - Lay My Lily Down lyrics
[Bob Weir - Lay My Lily Down lyrics]
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
To lay my Lily down lay my Lily down
Well, the first time I saw my newborn girl
She was pulling on her mama's hair
The sun coming through the window
And I'd have known her anywhere
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
To lay my Lily down lay my Lily down
Wanna lay my Lily down lay my Lily down
Wake up, wake up, my sleeping child
Come learn to laugh at hell
'Cause the Pharaoh's fire in
Your daddy's blood
Runs in your veins as well
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Oh, lay my Lily down lay my Lily down
The last time I saw little Lily
She was staring at the windswept sea
With two pearl handled pistols
And a banjo on her knee
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
To lay my Lily down
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Oh, lay my Lily down
Lay my Lily down lay my Lily down
Lay my Lily down oh, lay my Lily down
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
To lay my Lily down lay my Lily down
Well, the first time I saw my newborn girl
She was pulling on her mama's hair
The sun coming through the window
And I'd have known her anywhere
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
To lay my Lily down lay my Lily down
Wanna lay my Lily down lay my Lily down
Wake up, wake up, my sleeping child
Come learn to laugh at hell
'Cause the Pharaoh's fire in
Your daddy's blood
Runs in your veins as well
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Oh, lay my Lily down lay my Lily down
The last time I saw little Lily
She was staring at the windswept sea
With two pearl handled pistols
And a banjo on her knee
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
To lay my Lily down
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Oh, lay my Lily down
Lay my Lily down lay my Lily down
Lay my Lily down oh, lay my Lily down
