Carl Smith — Lonely Mound Of Clay

[Verse 1] Beside a new made grave, heartbroken My love for her won't let me go away And leave her there to sleep forever All alone beneath that lonely mound of clay [Chorus] Oh, Lord, why did you take her from me Why didn't you take me away So I could have been there beside her All alone beneath that lonely mound of clay [Verse 2] Many times I've looked toward heaven And prayed she wouldn't go away But this sinner's prayer wasn't answered So she's sleeps beneath that lonely mound of clay [Chorus] Oh, Lord, why did you take her from me Why didn't you take me away So I could have been there beside her All alone beneath that lonely mound of clay
