Lyrics

Today has been a lonesome day                  Today has been a long lonesome day

Today has been a lonesome day                  And tomorrow’s going to be the same ole way

 

They carried my girl to the burying ground          They carried my girl to the burying ground

They carried my girl to the burying ground        and I saw it, when they laid her in the ground

Today has been a lonesome day                  Today has been a lonesome day

Today has been a lonesome day                  And tomorrow’s going to be the same ole way

 

Go dig my grave with a silver spade                      Go dig my grave with a silver spade

Go dig my grave with a silver spade                      Go and mark the place where I’ll be laid

Today has been a lonesome day                  Today has been a long lonesome day

Today has been a lonesome day                  And tomorrow’s going to be the same ole way

 

Have you ever heard a church bell toll                  Have you ever heard a church bell toll

Have you ever heard a church bell toll                  You’ll know by that, that I’m dead and gone

Today has been a lonesome day                  Today has been a  lonesome day

Today has been a lonesome day                  And tomorrow’s going to be the same ole way

 

Today has been a lonesome day                  Today has been a long lonesome day

Today has been a lonesome day                  And tomorrow’s going to be the same ole way

 

Today has been a lonesome day
