There’s a full moon rising up over the hill I'm sleeping on that cold, cold ground The wind is whispering through the treetops I'm laying on that cold, cold ground The creek is running up over its banks I'm sleeping on that cold, cold ground Me and the coyotes are howling at the moon I'm singing the only song that I know Crying for a love that once I lost I'm singing the only song that I know Dig me a hole and throw my body in Bury me in the cold, cold ground For all of my sins here and all of my crimes Throw me in that cold, cold ground Upon my very last dying breath Bury me in that cold, cold ground Me and the coyotes are howling at the moon I'm singing the only song I know Crying for a love that once I'd lost I'm singing the only song that I know
