Well, there's one kind of favor I'll ask of you
Well, there's one kind of favor I'll ask of you
There's just one kind of favor I'll ask of you

You can see that my grave is kept clean

And there's two white horses following me

And there's two white horses following me
I got two white horses following me
Waiting on my burying ground


Did you ever hear that coffin' sound
Have you ever heard that coffin' sound

Did you ever hear that coffin' sound
Means another poor boy is under ground


Did you ever hear them church bells tone
Have you ever hear'd them church bells tone
Did you ever hear them church bells tone

Means another poor boy is dead and gone

Well, my heart stopped beating

And my hands turned cold
And, my heart stopped beating
And my hands turned cold

Well, my heart stopped beating
And my hands turned cold
Now I believe what the bible told


There's just one last favor I'll ask of you
And there's one last favor I'll ask of you

There's just one last favor I'll ask of you
See that my grave is kept clean
