The Last Old Shovel


(D) They buried her on (G) the side of the (D) mountain
There my darling sleeps in the (A) ground
(D) I stayed by her side (G) 'til they covered her  (D) over
And the last old (A) shovel was laid (D) down

(D) Till the last old (G) shovel was laid (D) down, laid down
Till the last old shovel was laid (A) down
(D) I stayed by her side and I  (G) cried and I cried
(D) When the last old (A) shovel was laid (D) down

(A) I think of her when (G) it's stormy and (D) raining
In that mountain far (A) away
(D) I long to be laid by (G) her side on that (D) mountain
(D) There'll be rest for (A  me on that (D) day

There'll be rest for me on that day, that day
There'll be rest for me on that day
I long to be laid by her side on that mountain
On that mountain far away

Oh bury me where my true love is sleeping
Where she lies in that lonesome ground
I'll find sweet rest by the side of my darling
When the last old shovel is laid down
