I'm gonna dig me a hole   I'm gonna bury my heart   I'll let it rest in pieces   Out in my back yard      I'll lay a wreath of roses   On a blue tombstone   I'm gonna dig me a hole, lord   I'm gonna bury my heart      Well, it just stopped beating one winter night   The very moment that she said goodbye   And one more lost love is too much to bear   Well, this time it's broken beyond repair      I'm gonna dig me a hole   I'm gonna bury my heart   I'll let it rest in pieces   Out in my back yard      I'll lay a wreath of roses   On a blue tombstone   I'm gonna dig me a hole, lord   I'm gonna bury my heart      In the stone cold ground, I'm gonna chip away   A six feet down more to it's resting place   All you memories come shake my hand   Of the sole survivor of this lonely man      I'm gonna dig me a hole   I'm gonna bury my heart   I'll let it rest in pieces   Out in my back yard      Lay a wreath of roses   On a blue tombstone   I'm gonna dig me a hole, lord   I'm gonna bury my heart      I'm gonna dig me a hole   Gonna bury my heart   I'll let it rest in pieces   Out in my back yard      I'll lay a wreath of roses   On a blue tombstone   I'm gonna dig me a hole, lord   I'm gonna bury my heart   Gonna dig me a hole, lord   I'm gonna bury my heart
