LyricMeaning

New Dug Grave
Gillian Welch

I left home when I was twenty

Just to see what I could find

With a promise made to Mother

To return at Christmas time

But when the new year turned to summer

I was running rough and wild

Haunted by my broken promise

And her tender, trusting smile

Sick at heart I started homeward

Still it took a year and more

Till I saw the garden flowers

Leading to my mother's door

Brother, sister standing silent

Turning as I call their names

On the ground, familiar shadows

Pointing to a new dug grave
