John D. Loudermilk - The Little Grave Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • On Christmas Eve I went a walking out beyond the city gate
  • For to fetch a fresh young pheasant for my darling's Christmas plate
  • It was snowing oh so quietly and the woods were wide and soft
  • Just the sound of snowflakes falling and the footsteps as I walked
  • There I saw a fresh young pheasant and I shot and killed him there
  • And I heard a distant church bell as the bird fell from the air
  • [ strings ]
  • As I held his dying body the strangest thought came over me
  • God had made this little body that I have killed on Christmas Eve
  • All the woods were dark and shadowed with the light the cold stars gave
  • I sent a prayer to God in heaven and covered up the little grave
  • And covered up the little grave

    • Report error in lyric
