Lay This Body Down

Oh graveyard, oh graveyard
I'm walking through that graveyard

        Lay this body down

I see the starlight
I'm walking through that starlight

I see the moonlight
I'm walking through that moonlight

I lie in the grave
I'm lying in that graveyard

I go to judgement
In the evening of the day

My soul and your soul
Will meet on that day

Oh graveyard, oh graveyard
I'm walking through that graveyard

recorded by June Tabor on "Abyssinians" (1983)
