There's grave in the bend of the valley
Here the shadows sweep over so still
Here my darling is sleeping so peaceful
In a gave at the foot of the hill

On the night when I'm lonely and thinking
Of my sweet heart who is now gone away
I go back to the place where she's sleeping
I'm just waiting to see her some day

* Refrain

God gave us the joy that we wished for
Just a few days together we'll be
Then he carried her to Heaven's bright portal
There where she will be waiting for me

* Refrain

For I often go back to the valley
Where the willows weep over her head
There to be just once more with my darling
By her side tho' I know she is dead

* Refrain
