The Carter Family - See That My Grave Is Kept Clean [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
When I am dead and gone from you, darling
When I am laid away in my grave
When my spirit has gone to heaven above
To him whom my soul will save

[Chorus]
Oh, the day will come to you, darling
When no more on earth I'll be seen
There's one little wish, darling, grant me
See that my grave is kept green
When from this world I go
Leaving forever the scene
While others are dead, oh, will you then
See that my grave is kept green

[Verse 2]
Oh, the hour of joy is passing
But, alas, how soon it will fade
Your glances of love are meeting my own
And sunlight will turn to shade

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I shall never be happy again, my love
Never be happy again
For girls in her teens don't know what love means
I shall never be happy again

[Chorus]
