I buried my love with the silver spade
Laid her down in the shallow grave,
Can't keep lovin' the cold cold ground
Nothing in the earth can't 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 lovin' the cold cold ground
Nothing in the earth can't 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 might that can't be tamed.

I buried my love with the silver spade
Laid her down in the shallow grave,
Can't keep lovin' the cold cold ground
Nothing in the earth can't hold her down.
[x2]

Uh, I buried my love
In the shallow grave...
