Alone In the Dark - Dark & Dreary Banjo Dirge

Alone In The Dark - lyrics
written and performed by Dan D. Dirges
banjo in minor tuning
Two finger index lead

Little one, little one, dont you weep,
Jesus will have your soul to keep,
Jesus will have your soul to keep
Little one, little one, dont you weep

Mother, Mother, Alone in the dark,
I know life has suffered you so hard,
I know life has suffered you so hard
Mother, Mother, Alone in the dark

Black crow, black crow, sitting in a tree,
never forgets what he has seen,
never forgets what he has seen
Black crow, black crow, sitting in a tree

Pale moon, pale moon, somewhere in the sky,
Never asks questions or reasons why,
Never asks questions or reasons why
Pale moon, pale moon, somewhere in the sky

Buried, buried, alone in the dark (I sang this part wrong)
Deep in the woods where tall firs grow
Deep in the woods where tall firs grow
Buried, buried, so alone in the dark

Church bells, Church bells echo in my head
Sorrow and penance for the innocent dead
Sorrow and penance for the innocent dead
Church bells, Church bells, echo in my head

Little one, little one, dont you weep,
Jesus will have your soul to keep,
Jesus will have your soul to keep
Little one, little one, dont you weep
