the little grave - george hamilton iv lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
one winter’s eve i went a walking
out beyond the city gate
for to fetch a fresh young pheasant
for my darling’s dinner plate

[verse 2]
it was snowing oh so quietly
and the woods were white and soft
just the sound of snowflakes falling
and the footsteps as i walked

[verse 3]
there i saw a fresh young pheasant
and i shot and k!lled him there
and i heard a distant church bell
as the bird fell from the air

[verse 4]
as i held his dying body
the strangest thought came over me
god had made this little body
that i had k!lled so thoughtlessly

[verse 5]
all the woods were dark and shadowed
with the light the cold stars gave
said a prayer to god in heaven
and covered up the little grave
and covered up the little grave
