Laid In The Ground - The Wandering Hearts

Wear your best and darkest clothes my friend

Shoes may shine and hair may be bound

Have a drink if you like to calm your nerve

Once they’re laid there in the ground

We’ll be strong for our loved ones dear

Till they’re worn out and sleeping sound

For the old we’ll mourn and the children well

Once they’re laid there in the ground

Said I wouldn’t leave you alone and I didn’t

Said I wouldn’t leave you alone and I didn’t

Said I wouldn’t leave you alone and I didn’t

Said I wouldn’t leave you alone and I didn’t

Said I wouldn’t leave you alone and I didn’t

Said I wouldn’t leave you alone and I didn’t

Said I wouldn’t leave you alone and I didn’t

Said I wouldn’t leave you alone

In the ground

There’s a letter in my bedside drawer

Waiting there to be found

Though I go with you, I won’t return

Once you’ve laid me in the ground

Said I wouldn’t leave you alone and I didn’t

Said I wouldn’t leave you alone and I didn’t

Said I wouldn’t leave you alone and I didn’t

Said I wouldn’t leave you alone and I didn’t

Said I wouldn’t leave you alone and I didn’t

Said I wouldn’t leave you alone and I didn’t

Said I wouldn’t leave you alone and I didn’t

Said I wouldn’t leave you alone

In the ground, in the ground

Once you’ve laid me in the ground

In the ground, in the ground

Once you’ve laid me in the ground

In the ground I’ll lay till we meet one day

When we’ll lay there in the ground
