[Chorus]
G
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow, dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
C G F G
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow, to lay my Lily down, lay my Lily down
[Riff]
[Verse]
G
Well the first time I saw my newborn girl, she was pullin' on her mama's hair
F G
The sun comin' through the window, and I'd known her anywhere
[Chorus]
G
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow, dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
C G F G
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow, to lay my Lily down, to lay my Lily down
[Riff] Oh to lay my Lily down, lay my Lily down
[Verse]
G
Wake up, wake up my sleeping child, come and learn to laugh at hell
F G
Cause the feral fire in your daddy's blood runs in your veins as well
[Chorus]
G
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow, dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
C G F G
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow, oh to lay my Lily down, lay my Lily down
[Riff]
[Verse]
G
The last time I saw little Lily, she was starin' at the windswept sea
F G
With her two pearl-handled pistols and a banjo on her knee
[Chorus]
G
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow, dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
C G
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow, to lay my Lily down
[Chorus]
G
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow, dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
C G F G
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow, oh to lay my Lily down, lay my Lily down
[Outro]
C G F G C G
Lay my Lily down, lay my Lily down, oh to lay my Lily down
