Verse 1
D 
Bill and I were never same,
A 
D 
one without the other
And between us was a love
A 
D 
as strong as a man has for his brother
When we fell in love with Lucy Ann,
A 
D 
Bill and I were parted
For I was the winner of her heart
A 
D 
And that's when the trouble started
G 
Oh, dig me a hole in the cold, ground
D 
Dig me one and then another
A 
For today I bury Lucy and
G 
D 
Tomorrow they hang my brother
I married my sweet Lucienne,
A 
D 
built a  cabin on the hill
We were waiting on a little one,
A 
D 
it would name him after Bill
But last night when I came
home from town,
A 
D 
Lucienne was dying
A knife was buried in her breast
A 
D 
In a pool of blood she was lying
G 
Oh, take me a whole of cocoa brown
D 
Take me one and then another
A 
For today I bury Lucy and
G 
D 
Tomorrow they hang my brother
She told me who'd done this awful thing,
A 
D 
and it chilled me through and through
A 
My one and only brother was the only Bill
D 
I knew Bill swore that he
would get revenge,
A 
D 
but fate can be so grim
He didn't know that Lucienne
A 
D 
was leaving me for him
G 
Go dig me a hole of cold, ground
D 
Dig me one and then another
A 
For today I bury Lucienne
G 
D 
Tomorrow they hang my brother
A 
For today I bury Lucy
G 
D 
and tomorrow they hang my brother.
