You Won't Dig My Grave

I am no weeping willow

I am no fragile flower

To be taken by the frost

Or by the lateness of the hour

I have lived in consternation

Of the road ahead for me

Despite that, I can't see that far

There are some things I can see

You won't dig my grave

You won't dig my grave

I have lived among the angels

You never were that brave

You won't dig my grave

You won't dig my grave

I have been up to the mountain

There are things you can't take

From that morning by the river

Where once I touched her hem

To my midnight in the garden

Without a solitary friend

The rock of my salvation

Was the girl who took my hand

You've never been loved the way I have

You wouldn't understand

You won't dig my grave

You won't dig my grave

I've lived among the angels

You never were that brave

You won't dig my grave

You won't dig my grave

I've been up to the mountain

There are things you can't take

I'm told there's many mansions

I am not afraid to go

But the call that I am waiting on

Will not come from below

My angel suffers no fools

I am hers, and she is mine

And woe betide the man who tries

To take me 'fore my time

You won't dig my grave

You won't dig my grave

I've lived among the angels

You never were that brave

You won't dig my grave

You won't dig my grave

I have been up to the mountain

There are things you can't take

You won't dig my grave (Won't dig)

You won't dig my grave (My grave)

I have lived among the angels

I have lived among the angels

You won't dig my grave (Won't dig)

You won't dig my grave (My grave)

I have been up to the mountain

There are things you can't take, no

Won't dig

My grave
