"Shallow Grave" lyrics - THE STEELDRIVERS

I buried my love with the silver spade
Laid her down in the shallow grave
Can't keep love in the cold, cold ground
Nothing in the earth can hold her down
She was mine since my youth
She taught me how to stretch the truth
The love we shared
Was something strong
It made me forget about right and wrong
I buried my love with the silver spade
Laid her down in the shallow grave
Can't keep love in the cold, cold ground
Nothing in the earth can hold her down
(Yeah!)
When darkness comes, she appears
Whispers words I should not hear
Her voice is soft like a summer rain
With a bind that can't be tamed
I buried my love with the silver spade
Laid her down in the shallow grave
Can't keep love in the cold, cold ground
Nothing in the earth can hold her down
I buried my love with the silver spade
Laid her down in the shallow grave
Can't keep love in the cold, cold ground
Nothing in the earth can hold her down
Oh, I buried my love!
In a shallow grave
