#Lankum #GoDigMyGrave

Go dig my grave both wide and deep
Place a marble stone at my head and feet
And on my breast a snow white dove
To tell this world that I died for love

Oh Lordy Lord, Oh Lordy me
Oh Lord, oh Lord, Oh Lordy me

She went upstairs for to make her bed
And not one word to her mother said
Her mother, she went upstairs too
Saying “daughter oh daughter
What troubles you?”

“Oh Mama dear, I cannot tell,
That railroad boy that I loved so well
He courted me my life away
And now with me he will not stay”

Oh Lordy Lord, Oh Lordy me
Oh Lord, oh Lord, Oh Lordy me

Her father, he came home from work,
Saying “where’s my daughter?
She seemed so hurt”
He went upstairs for to give her hope
And he found her hanging by a rope

Oh Lordy Lord, Oh Lordy me
Oh Lord, oh Lord, Oh Lordy me

He got his knife for to cut her down
And in her bosom these words he found;

Go dig my grave both wide and deep
Place a marble stone at my head and feet
And on my breast a snow white dove
To tell this world that I died for love

Oh Lordy Lord, Oh Lordy me
Oh Lord, oh Lord, Oh Lordy me

"At least I die on the side of honor."
"Is there still such a thing?"

Rebel Moon, here we come.

[sammason]

Record exec; "The last album was class lads, you're getting very popular. Maybe lean into the accessible acoustic folk numbers and we can hit the mainstream"

Lankum; "9 minute funeral dirge from hell, yep"

Brilliant shtuff x

Who's here after Rebel Moon: Director's Cut trailer??

When you cannot decide whether you are in the mood for traditional Irish tunes or doom metal, then you have but to turn to Lankum.

[CheshireCatize]

Do you do children's birthday parties?

If the world today had a soundtrack, this would be it.

Hi, I am an Asian who has never been to Western countries including Ireland. But I can feel the power and message in Lankum's songs. I was really impressed with this song. I don't understand the lyrics at once, but I'm excited to listen to them several times and understand lyrics gradually. I'll make sure to listen to the link that you shared. Thank you ❤

[ericanderson]

To be played at my soon to be funeral. Perfect tone for my passing. Love is a killer, indeed.

[SaltyMaltyMo]

How have I not heard of this song before today?! This made all the hairs on my body stand up!

[greenery]

Perfectly used in the Rebel Moon trailer.

[toslinked]

fearless bands are rare these days. fly lankum!

[timk]

Woah this is like if Swans were an Irish folk band. Wow absolutely love it.

[gabhanachdenogla]

Chomh milis le mil agus chomh garbh le gaineamh - iontach lads!

[jasonesapp]

At least I’ll die on the side of honor

[Matt-mkph]

It feels like the first half of the song is a soldier preparing for war, and the second half is them fighting it.

[Universal_Pig]

That sound evokes so exactly the sick feeling when something really terrible happens in your life and you feel like you’ve stepped in to a waking nightmare. Unreal. 🔥🔥

[MP-ilys]

This song snuck up on me in an otherwise cheerful Spotify playlist as I drove down a foggy, wooded December road. I’d never heard the feeling of extreme dread so perfectly captured. Holy cow 😦

[brianlynch]

Seriously…. This is just music at a different level…. Superb

[spunky]

My word, that was astounding. Thoroughly unsettling with a dread that built until it was almost too much. Bra-bloody-vo.

[JOE]

Never heard of this band before. Feel like I might of just stumbled upon something pretty special.
