Lay My Lily Down Lyrics by Bob Weir

Blue Mountain

2016

[Chorus]
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
To lay my Lily down
Lay my Lily down
[Verse 1]
Well, the first time I saw my newborn girl
She was pulling on her mama's hair
The sun coming through the window
And I'd have known her anywhere
[Chorus]
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
To lay my Lily down
Lay my Lily down
[Post-Chorus]
Wanna lay my Lily down
Lay my Lily down
[Verse 2]
Wake up, wake up, my sleeping child
Come learn to laugh at hell
'Cause the Pharaoh's fire in your daddy's blood
Runs in your veins as well
[Chorus]
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Oh, lay my Lily down
Lay my Lily down
[Verse 3]
The last time I saw little Lily
She was staring at the windswept sea
With two pearl-handled pistols
And a banjo on her knee
[Chorus]
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
To lay my Lily down
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Dig a hole in the cold, cold ground
Dig a hole, dig a hole in the meadow
Oh, lay my Lily down
[Outro]
Lay my Lily down
Lay my Lily down
Lay my Lily down
Oh, lay my Lily down
