Lyrics

Well it's one kind favor I ask of you
One kind favor I ask of you
Well it's one kind favor I ask of you
Please see my grave is kept clean
It's a long lane ain't got no end
Long lane ain't got no end
It's a long lane ain't got no end
It's the longest lane that's ever been
Well it's three white horses in a line
Three white horses in a line
Well it's three white horses in a line
Gonna take me to my burying ground
Well dig my grave with a silver spade
Dig my grave with a silver spade
Well dig my grave with a silver spade
You will let me down with a golden chain
It's a long lane ain't got no end
Long lane ain't got no end
It's a long lane ain't got no end
It's the longest lane that's ever been
Oh dig my grave with a silver spade
Dig my grave with a silver spade
Oh dig my grave with a silver spade
You will let me down with a golden chain
Did you ever hear that trumpet sound
Did you ever hear that trumpet sound
If you ever hear that trumpet sound
You will know the poor boy's in the ground
It's a long lane ain't got end no end
Long lane ain't got end no end
Long lane ain't got end no end
It's the longest lane that's ever been
Did you ever hear a church bell toll
Did you ever hear a church bell toll
If you ever hear a church bell toll
You will know the poor boy's dead and gone
