Diggin' My Grave

I'm diggin' my grave 
  I'm diggin' my grave 
  My road to hell is surely paved 
  With all the love that I never gave 
  I'm diggin' my grave 
  Oh lord I'm diggin' my grave 

  And the hole is made 
  With a pick and a spade 
  And all the debts never repaid 
  Oh how I wish that I could have stayed 
  But the hole is made 
  Oh lord the hole is made 

  And the hole is shallow where I must lay 
  The hole is shallow 
  But that's okay 
  Cause I'll have peace on my final day 
  Down in this shallow hole where I must lay 

  Well this July ground is mighty hard 
  This July ground is mighty hard 
  My back is broken 
  My hands are scared 
  This July ground is mighty hard 

  Well lord I wish that I hadn't sinned 
  Oh oh I wish I hadn't sinned 
  That I could be with you again 
  Oh oh I wish Oh I wish I hadn't sinned 

  And the hole is shallow where I must lay 
  And the hole is shallow but that's okay 
  Cause I'll have peace on my final day 
  Down in this shallow hole where I must lay 

  This Iowa dirt is mighty cold 
  This Iowa dirt is mighty cold 
  And god will never rest my soul 
  Down in this Iowa dirt so cold 

  I'm diggin' my grave 
  Well, I'm diggin' my grave 
  My road to hell is surely paved 
  With all the love that I never gave 
  I'm diggin' my grave 
  Oh lord I'm diggin' my grave
