Listen, sweet little girl,
Your father's gone belowI know, I'm trying hard,
Trying to let goJust let me lead you,
To the ground where lies his heartWith all these tears inside,
I'll surely fall apartIt's time to face your loss,
Let your father go
He's gone, girl,
Down belowWalk along this dirty path,
Enjoy the falling rainI'm scared to say goodbye,
To face his hidden painIt's time to free your loss,
Let your father goBut I need your help, sweet sir,
You put him six feet belowWoo, woo
I dug your father's grave
Woo, woo
I dug your father's graveGot to find your fire, girl,
Survival of your soulPlease, friend, show me how,
I don't know where to startIt's time to face your loss,
Let your father goBut I need help, dear sir,
You put him six feet belowWoo, woo
I dug your father's grave
Woo, woo
You dug my father's graveWoo, woo
I dug your father's grave
(You dug my father's grave)
Woo, woo
I dug your father's graveNow we stand at your father's feet
Please, little girl, be braveHold me, I'll say goodbye,
I'll be better off this wayLet me hear your heart and soul,
I'll put him in his graveI feel the sorrow lifting,
As I kiss your lips in the rain(You dug my father's grave)
I dug your father's grave
Woo
(You dug my father's grave)
WooPlease little girl, be brave
Woo
(You dug my father's grave)
I dug your father's grave
Woo
(You dug my father's grave)I dug your father's grave
